We stopped by the University of Ouagadougou at about 6 p.m. and slipped into the back of this first year history class. It wasn't as crowded as some, but was very hot (despite all the fans.) The teacher spoke with a microphone, and when a student asked a question we couldn't hear from the back of the amphitheater.
We looked in the door of another classroom where the teacher was dictating - commas, periods, and all - an entire lesson:
Outside the buildings were masses of bicycles. Students came late and left early as they wished.
The lectures look very well attended. I have never seen so many ceiling fans in a room like that. Good to see you resuming your blog!
