THIS remote village in Ndonga, Central Afri-can Republic does not have an official school, and there is no functioning government to build one. The 90 pupils sitting on bamboo benches could tutor world leaders about the importance of education — even if they struggle with the most basic challenges. The United States talks a good game about global education, but it has never made a huge commitment. Barack Obama pro-mised, as a candidate, to start a US$2 billion (RM7.9 billion) global education fund, but nothing more was heard about it. In dysfunctional schools, students do not learn.
