To help him teach the Standard Eight pupils, together with Unicef, were five TSC staff and four volunteer teachers.
He said the school lacked text books because they were not allocated Free Primary Education, but some well-wishers donated a few books, which did not match the curriculum.
During the exams, he said, the school lacked 12 wall clocks for the 12 centres set up at the neighbouring Race Course Primary School.

Kudos to this kid that overcame all odds against him and perfomed well in the exams. The government should make sure that his entire high school education is accounted for.
