When the
people of Tintihigrene realised the importance of education,
the Chief of the village called a meeting of all the
villagers and nomads in the area. The decision to start
the school was made. With help from an organisation
called Tassaght they constructed a building and provided
equipment. School-teacher Hassanat Ag Meinak now teaches
20 pupils: 8 girls and 12 boys, ranging from 6 to 12
years old. "The importance of this school is the
same as that of any school, but in a village where no-one
can read or write the school has an added importance"
he says.
