English Definition
An institution for educating children. 'Shule' comes from the German 'Schule' (from German colonial East Africa). East African schools face quality challenges despite high enrollment — teacher shortages, infrastructure gaps, and learning poverty (children not reading by age 10). Kenya's Competency Based Curriculum (CBC, 2017) is a major educational reform. School fees abolition dramatically increased attendance but quality remains a challenge.
Example
“Kufutwa kwa ada za shule za msingi Kenya na Tanzania kuliongeza sana idadi ya wanafunzi.”
In English: “Abolishing primary school fees in Kenya and Tanzania greatly increased the number of students.”
Synonyms
