In Uganda, students are lured to school for food

THE brightest boys in Uganda's Karamojong tribe are more likely to be given guns to guard their cows than pens to take to school. 

“A child with brains means he will be good at looking after cattle and searching for food, so we didn't like to have him in school,” said 29-year-old Grace Oyoyo, who had given little thought to her son Moses's education.
