Osanyuk Primary School had 362 pupils enrolled in classes 1 to 6 when the team visited in February 2020 with the expectation that this number would continue to increase as the next primary school is 15km away from the community making it more or less impossible for children, in particular very young children, to attend due to the distance and the risks involved in walking that far. As a consequence few children used to attend. The school is currently housed in traditionally constructed classrooms built by the community on church land. In order to be officially registered by the government the school needs to have permanent (brick) classrooms, a supply of potable water, latrines and adequate teachers accommodation. The community have dug the pit for a latrine block however it has no structure. Attempts at drilling for a borehole have not been successful and an alternative solution may need to be found. TDT, with the continued involvement of and contributions from the community, hopes to be able to support the school to attain registration. Once registered the school can expect some support from the government, most particularly the provision of teaching staff.
