New year is a reminder of new school term, in East Africa. In Bidibidi refugee settlement, which is located in Northern Uganda, majority of secondary students walk miles – coming from all directions of the settlement – a size of an average city to reach school. Trekking mostly dark paths, students aim at getting to school as early as 3 am. The purpose is to scramble for space inside their respective classrooms. This learning condition worries everyone, including the Refugee Welfare Council.
