“We have 885 pupils at the school, built in 1990. We admit pupils with learning and physical disabilities,” Bono explained.
Due to this, the school also needs to take into account the needs of these learners.
“The overcrowded classrooms made it difficult for all the children to learn. The only solution was adding more classrooms,” Bono continued.
