It was Monday again and the students were back to normal learning. The classrooms were packed up to the gunnels and teachers did their work with sticktoitiveness. The students were always avid for knowledge. They were filled with the impeccable longing for this and that that they found new. Silence in the learning section therefore went without promulgation, except for the chantings and chorusings in the classrooms.
Okayo was in grade five. He had excelled in grade four exams. They would be sitting the mid-year exams soon. Those who failed grade four exams had already joined the farm and other menial works in the commercial. Others were undergoing military training. There were three compulsory subjects that one had to merit in, and these were Arithmatics, Reading and Writing. Then there were other four that were considered academic boosters, they were more practical in nature. These were Drilling, Local Geography, Drama & Music
