Children fighting for attention

In Huambo district, Angola, 
there 2067 provisory classrooms, that means under a tree and so on.
1182 definitive, that means in school buildings.
In total 3249 classrooms.
The number of pupils 600821, giving a ratio on 185 pupil in own class.
The need of classrooms is 686.
The drop out rate is 7-12 %.

Fagforbundets SOS-children village has built a SOS primary school built for 650 pupils, but the number of pupils are now increased to over 1200, divided on two shifts. 
We are also trying to improve the conditions on the other local school like Tchicassa. This school has 975 pupils, 15 teachers and 6 classrooms. We helped them to improve the rooms, get desks and chairs, and now at last water! 
Here the pupils walk on the tables to find their place, and the teaching is just to repeat after the teacher. The children are fighting for attention.

To have overcrowded classrooms are a distaster for the kids and the teachers, but the dilemma is that schools in rural areas in Angola often refuse to accept pupils and put them on a waiting list. That means if you are 6 years old and it's no place for you, you actually have to wait until you are 12 to start in first grade.
