Firin Pre-Primary & Primary School
Firin Pre-Primary & Primary School was opened in 2005 to address the challenge that children had of crossing a very dangerous bridge to get to school. It was initially housed in a rented facility and in 2006, mud classrooms were built by parents. Most of the people living in Firin area are low income families or those who recently moved from urban areas, and who depend on subsistence farming. As a result, they were unable to afford to build adequate or durable facilities that meet the government standard. Consequently, in the existing school, students learned in congested (average of 70 students/class/shift) and falling mud facilities.
New Firin school buildings were completed and furnished in 2019. Teacher training workshops are ongoing, as are numeracy and literacy assessments. Sanitation and hygiene training and educational gardening programs began in 2021.
