The fact that not all problems are actual problems, prioritizing is mandatory to bring about lasting solutions- the idea of curing the root causes not the symptoms.<\/p>\n
This notion is even more effective in communities like Buluk where there are dozens of problems that are taking generation time without getting remedy.\u00a0 \u00a0Schooling is one of concerning problems of Buluk that needs priority –\u00a0 for education<\/p>\n
Is among best weapons the community has at hand that could have helped minimize crowd of troubles it has been suffering from.<\/p>\n
Seid Wabe, Buluk School principal commented, \u201cIt has been 36 years since Buluk school is opened and I have been serving here for eight years but the school isn\u2019t showing relative progress of its age. The worst thing is, it is cluster center for other six schools without being able to be self-reliant itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t overstatement to say that Buluk School has nothing a school is expected to have to run even as a school.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are only 11 poorly constructed classrooms with 20 poorly assembled seats for 140 students in each classes. There is no adequate textbook and there are only 100 reference books in the school, there is no library even to store the existing books and no laboratory to give practical classes. So, It is impossible to deliver quality education without necessary facilities for 140 students in a class, which is over three fold of the national standard- 45 students in a class,\u201d says Negeso Kasim, vice principal of Buluk School, looking in to my eyes being sure that I have understood what he is talking about.<\/p>\n
