The fact of the mat

Amid contradictory and confusing reports on what is happening in Vakarai, this is what passes for a school for the war-affected children. With no desks or blackboards and only one chair for the teacher, the children sit on mats. They may not be able to learn much but it gives a powerful lesson on the inequitable distribution of educational resources. Pic. by Pradeep Dilrukshana
