Description

The Khunale School has 3 roofed class rooms and one open-air class. As of 2018, the school had 138 students, 61 girls and 77 boys.[2][1] There were:

  • 35 students in one class in Grade 1
  • 27 students in one class in Grade 2
  • 36 students in one class in Grade 3
  • 40 students in one class in Grade 4

In addition, there were 18 children in preparatory classes (Grade 0)

Water and sanitation

In 2018, water was not available at the school, but there was a spring 10 minutes walk away. There were no specific facilities for girls handling menstrual hygiene;[2] this is a major reason for adolescent girls dropping out from school.[3][4] Up to 2018, there was no toilet building.[2]

Ecosan toilet under construction in Khunale school

In 2019, the School WatSani project has built an Ecosan toilet building at this school.[5][6] Through nudging approach, the students are sensitised for using the sanitation and water facilities.[5]

Transportation

All children travel to school on foot.[2]

gollark: But PotatOS has to present an environment close to what a normal, potatOSless computer would have, for compatibility.
gollark: Lua, being cool™, actually lets you override the global environment other functions see. Which allows sandboxing very easily (minus some DoS attacks), since you just give them an environment with no I/O functions.
gollark: All the I/O stuff in CC is provided to user code via a bunch of tables of functions like `fs` in the global scope.
gollark: Specifically², function environments mostly.
gollark: Process management stuff got enhanced isolation after a spate of bugs relating to that, so it's *probably* okay now, but there are still problems, inevitably.
