A teacher conducts a class at the Bright Achievers tuition-free school in the Bariga slum settlement, in Lagos, Nigeria, 13 November 2020. Bright Achievers, founded in 2017, is a tuition-free school in the Bariga district, a slum settlement with many underprivileged children whose parents mostly cannot afford sending their children to private and public schools. Most public schools in the Bariga district are congested and like in most slum settlements in Nigeria, are often in a state of disrepair. Seun Awobajo, founder of the school, who is also a drama director, says the school runs on voluntary donations from friends and on his personal finances, as he adopted twenty-seven of the students as either orphans or homeless children.
