Educational realities in Mbulu

Your first day at school will open your eyes to the shortfalls of education in our District.  There is a little equipment besides desks and chairs which also are not enough for the children.

Amazingly children are happy to be at Sanu English and every one is  taught at early age to be obident and never go home without  his or her home work.

Teachers are not allowed to beat the pupil as a common method of punishment to government  near by schools, because most of teacher where taught in the same way .(a sad consequence of colonialism.)

Tests and Examinations

Academic year starts in January and semesters are as follows,

First term:  January to end of March (APRIL HOLIDAYS)

Second term: May to end of August(SEPTEMBER HOLIDAYS)

NB:  We would like to have volunteers came for at least one semester   this will  allow for the best quality learning, if volunteers want to travel during the weekend doors are open to go to everywhere in the country Sanu English welcome your participation and idea.
