This is a typical school classroom in northern Ghana. Actually is is probably better than most. At least it has desks for both students and a teacher. Each desk is shared by 2-3 students. The only teaching resource is a chalkboard. Teachers bring their own chalk. Students bring workbooks. Discipline is a priority. Teachers all carry canes or switches which they use to whap anyone who gets out of line. This is a P-4 (Primary 4) classroom. Students must pass exams to move to the next grade. No social promotion.
