School Structure:

Students at Olosho-Oibor Primary take six classes: English, Mathematics, Kiswahili, Science, Social Studies, and Christianity. The practice of teaching religion in schools is universal across Kenya, and is a requirement of the public education system, though; it should be noted that in areas that are predominantly Islamic schools are permitted to teach Islam.

Competition within education is intense in Kenya. The pressure on students to perform well and gain entry into quality secondary schools is strong, and the pressure on schools to have their students perform well is similarly powerful. Olosho-Oibor offers extra tuition to its students on Saturdays, and in the breaks between terms for this reason.

Physical Makeup:

 Olosho-Oibor Primary itself is made up of five buildings. There are three long halls with the classrooms for the different years, one small building which functions as an office for all of the teachers, and a Presbyterian Church which helps to anchor the school as a community center. The buildings are single storied and made of rough cement masonry. Classrooms are bare, a thin layer of cement on the floor, chalkboard paint along one wall, thin corrugated metal roofing, and rows of battered benches fashioned from rough hewn planks. There are two outhouses each with a row of five squat toilets the school entrance. The school has also has one outdoor water tap that draws from a spring several kilometers away.
