Amanit School is a public school for grades 1 through 8 in Segenet, Amanit, Dogu’a Tembien, Tigray, Ethiopia. There are also a “zero” (pre-schooling) and an “alpha” grade class (uptake of adolescents who missed school so far).[1]
Description
The Amanit School has five classrooms. As of 2019, the school had 422 students, 224 girls and 188 boys.[1] There were:
- 52 students in one class in Grade 1
- 61 students in one class in Grade 2
- 45 students in one class in Grade 3
- 58 students in one class in Grade 4
- 49 students in one class in Grade 5
- 36 students in one class in Grade 6
- 31 students in one class in Grade 7
- 25 students in one class in Grade 8
- 33 students in one class in Grade 0
- 22 students in one class in Grade alpha
Over the last 20 years, important efforts have been done to increase schooling in Tigray, particularly of girls.[2] The large intake in primary schools in Ethiopia over the last decades has led to a lack of classrooms.[3] Hence, classes take place through shifts (morning and afternoon).
Water and sanitation
In 2019, water was not available at the school. The hand-dug well with handpump on the schoolyard was broken, and the Gudeli village pump yields insufficient water, even for the village households. Up to 2019, there was no toilet building; the students went outside for the toilet, boys and girls in separate directions.[1] There were also no specific facilities for girls handling menstrual hygiene;[1] this is a major reason for adolescent girls dropping out from school.[4][5][6]
In 2020, the School WatSani project has built an Ecosan toilet building at this school.[7][8] Through a nudging approach, the students are sensitised for using the sanitation and water facilities.[7]
Transportation
All children travel to school on foot. Many students will walk more than an hour (some even two hours), twice a day, to come to school.[9]
