Some village elementary schools have a severe shortage of textbooks, teaching materials, and teachers, which is obviously detrimental to the development of elementary education. However, by merging several village schools into the town, this problem can be greatly resolved.
This is also closely related to the layout of East African villages, which are generally clustered around a town, with several closely adjacent villages forming a star-like pattern. Conversely, if the villages are too far away, promoting the concentration of educational resources becomes more harmful than beneficial, as no one would feel at ease with their children walking several miles to attend school.
Of course, if due to special reasons it is impossible to concentrate, the qualification to run schools can be retained. This mainly depends on the specific local circumstances, to be handled at a local level and reported accordingly.
