Context – Education in the Reserves • Content not suited to local needs - urban and generic subjects; • High dropout rate and low impact on improving the life quality of traditional communities; • Students have to move to nearby towns to continue studies - which often was not possible due to lack of resources or not to separate the family; • By 2009, only 4.2% of the Juma population over 18 years old had completed primary education and, only 1.5%, high school. Traditional School at Sustainable Development Reserves (RDS)
