La Salle Primary, Naka, Nigeria

La Salle Primary opened in September 2019 with one first grade class. The school expects to have 51 students for the 2021-2022 academic year, with 26 returning students in second and third grades, 20 new students in first grade and five new students in the second and third grade classes. About 65 percent of students are from families that are financially underprivileged. More than half of the students are children of peasant farmers, while the rest are children of petty traders, civil servants and other wage earners. The school has 13 staff members (eight men and five women), which include eight teachers and five people in other roles. School is in session from mid-September through the end of July with extended breaks in December, April and August. The school continues to take COVID-19 precautions. As of August, measures were more relaxed since the area was not experiencing a large number of cases.
