 Current Learner Context Grade Levels: Typically grades 8–10, with plans to include Grades 11–12 as boarding capacity and infrastructure grow. Approximate Size: ~250 learners in total, giving an average of ~28 students per class, suggesting moderately sized classrooms. Nature of Learners: As a public school in a rural, border region (close to Angola), learners likely come from local villages and possibly cross-border areas, facing challenges such as access, infrastructure, and support services. Edundja itself is a settlement prone to seasonal flooding, which can disrupt schooling—especially during rainy or cold periods, potentially affecting learner attendance, safety, and retention.
