We visited daycare center where more kids were running around and asking us our names. The children obviously learned English and they were happy to practice it. I’ve learned some girls' names, all sounding very muslim to me, now I can only recall Jasmine and Fatima. I cannot remember others. We walked around the village and looked at the houses. Some areas were better off than others. I have learned that the houses are built by the community. You invite neighbors to help you out and feed them while they help you build the house. This is how Paul built his house once he was married.
Gazi surprised us by the large number of schools and schoolchildren in different uniforms. Gazi Primary School is located in Coast province, Kwale district, Msambweni divison, Kinondo location and Msambweni Constituency. Although you can find only one public school in internet search, we clearly saw a Muslim School and a girls school in the area.
Education officials announced in July 2020 that they were canceling the academic year and making students repeat it. They are not expected to begin classes again until January, the usual start of Kenya’s school year. Education experts believe Kenya is the only nation to have gone so far as to declare the entire school year a total washout, and order students to start over. The decision to suspend the academic year affects more than 90,000 schools and over 18 million students in pre-primary through high school, including 150,000 more in refugee camps, according to the education ministry. National exams usually taken by students in their last year of primary school and high school have also been postponed, and there will be no intake of new students in 2021.
