The media in its quest to expose schools without furniture and children laying on their bellies to learn, should equally cast its lenses on the pieces of broken furniture dotted around some schools owing to the lack of maintenance culture by some school authorities, he said. “Actually, the deficit of furniture in the schools is about 1,600.
