Visegese Primary School teachers in Kisarawe District, Coast Region, are forced to share a house due to shortage of staff quarters.
One of the teachers, Ridhiki Athumani, told PST he had been sharing the house with five colleagues, including a female.
Worse enough, the house which was meant for the school head-teacher, has no toilet.
The headteacher decided to host his colleagues as there were no houses for rent in the village.
Under the MMEM project, the school was granted 3.6m/- by the government for construction of one classroom, an amount said to be insufficient.
But the villagers rejected to support the government`s efforts.
Nevertheless, the project was luckily completed when the school teachers chipped in with support that facilitated construction of the classroom.
