“You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that’s the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment,” said Michelle Obama, resonating with children and parents, as they make their way to school in the new year.
Down the hill and across sprawling tea estates, under a tree shed and in dilapidated classrooms, in conflict regions and along the riverside, children go to great lengths to make it to school… only to be able to wear new uniforms, buy new books and school supplies, meet their friends and teachers, play at recess time, study their favourite subject, and head back home after a fulfilling day of learning at school.
