In the village,
there is one school, with four teachers, who teach primary and secondary
national syllabus’s, covering Portuguese language,
geography and history,
science and mathematics. They teach
morning and late afternoon classes, (due to the heat of the day) with a break
in-between. Education materials are
given by the government. 
Food is
given, at times, by the mayor of the nearby town. Its arrival, variation and quantity also varies with
political campaigns. If students
wish to pursue their education, then they have to move to the City. This is dependent on whether they have family with whom to
live in the City, or a job, where they will work as house cleaners in return for
accommodation and food. As always,
this change in lifestyle causes enormous changes on their futures.
