The best and the worst


Ranging pupils from number one to the last one is something completely unheard of in Norway, at least in primary school. But in Kenya, that's how you do it. Every pupil knows what number he or she currently holds in class, based on frequently held exams. Last week we had mid term exams in school, and when announcing the results, all the pupils and staff of the school gathered outside. The class teachers read out the results from each class, starting with number one. Every child has to stand up when their name is read. On the picture are the class eight pupils standing in line according to their number. There are also awards given to the best ones, of course.
