It is a few minutes past noon and the last lesson just before the lunch break is in progress at a little-known school in Tiaty Constituency. While other Class One pupils may be wondering when the government will bring the free laptops promised, pupils in this school have more grave worries. They have no classes, desks, black boards, chairs, and their biggest headache is the snakes.

Welcome to Nachururu Primary School in Baringo County. The deputy head teacher, Nelson Mmutkel, says the school has only two teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission, two by the county government and three are paid by parents.
