This is similar to an informal and unscientific observation I made some time back about the reasons and motivations for school kids to attend schools. Here is the blog post I wrote on it. http://markmwangi.me.ke/bread-in-schools-and-noneffective-motivation/ Few school going children have the fortitude to plan years ahead. I know I didnt.

Hi,

In preparation for the July 4th session, I thought I'd share this study,

http://www.who.int/sdhconference/resources/draft_background_paper22_kenya.pd...

Deworming students reduces absenteeism by 25%. Students are dropping out of school becasue their parents, the school and the government don't care enough to get rid of parasites in their abdomen. Same government wants to give this malnourished child a laptop...

Well then...
