1.1 Five Challenges Tommy Encountered in Accessing Quality Education
Poverty and Hunger:
Tommy is often hungry because no one in his household earns an income, which
makes it difficult for him to concentrate in school.
Household Responsibilities:
He has to take turns with other older children to stay home and care for his sick
grandfather, causing him to miss school frequently.
Time-Consuming Chores:
Tommy has to fetch water from a river 1 km away every morning before school, often
resulting in him being late.
Emotional Stress and Anxiety:
Tommy worries about his sick grandfather and is sad about his father's absence,
which distracts him from his studies.
Undiagnosed Partial Sightedness:
Tommy sits at the back of the class to avoid the teacher's attention, but he cannot
see the board properly because his eyesight has never been tested.
1.2 Impact of Tommy's Family Situation on His Academic Performance
Tommy's family situation significantly affects his academic performance. He must
assume the responsibility of household tasks, such as caring for his grandfather and
fetching water, which leads to irregular school attendance and lateness. This
irregularity disrupts his learning continuity and results in him missing essential
lessons. The physical and emotional burden of his responsibilities, coupled with the
stress of his family's situation, makes it difficult for him to focus on h is schoolwork
when he is in class. Additionally, his concern for his family’s wellbeing and the
absence of his father add to his emotional stress, further detracting from his ability to
concentrate on his studies.
