Watch This!

Note for the folks at home: The school where I work is an all-boys' boarding school. Boarding schools make up the majority of secondary ("high") schools in Kenya, (the less-common alternative being "day" schools,) and a great deal of them are single-gender. Schools can be funded by a variety of sources. Public schools, which are at least partially funded by the government, are classified by the size of their region: "district", "provincial", "national", etc. Private schools are, understandable, funded privately, often through a religious organization or charity. From my conversations with teachers, private schools are (in general) optimal for students (who receive the most student-teacher interaction) but dismal for teachers (whose salaries aren't subject to the standards of the government, and could possibly be very low).
