"School is a difficult challenge here. At home the children speak Shona, their own language. But all teaching in Zimbabwe is in English, even the teaching of Shona. High school students take British O-level examinations, often remote from their own experience and culture.
"Most students fail most of the O-levels they attempt. Mr. Nyanguwo passed only three of the four he needs to qualify for a regular teaching job, so he is a temporary teacher while he prepares to try again."
