In my country, they spend $134,430,716.00 (yeah, you read that right) in a scheme they call “school feeding program”, they said they’re feeding children in government primary schools across the country
Don’t get me wrong, feeding children is not a bad idea, but this is where it gets interesting
Most of these children
Wear rags as clothes
Will go home and start hawking on the streets
Sleep on mats when they get home
Don’t have reading or writing materials
To highlight but a few problems
And the teachers teaching them are;
Not well paid
Owed salaries
Not well trained
There is no infrastructure, most of them receive lectures under trees or uncompleted buildings
