“He is the man of this house and has to provide for us，” says his mother, Tadala. “What are we going to eat if he attends school？” His mother believes it is her son's duty to provide food for the family.

　　Malawi introduced free basic education in 1994, and the number of pupils in primary schools rose quickly from 1.9 to 3.2 million.But there were still more children who can not attend school. Current figures from the ministry of education indicate that up to 20 percent of Malawian children aged between 6 and 13 do not attend primary school.

　　The Creative Centre for Community Mobilisation (CRECCOM), a Malawian civil society organization calling for improved education standards, says there should be a law forcing children to attend school. “The major problem we have is that universal primary education is not compulsory although it is free. Some communities do not really feel compelled to send their children because there's no law that forces them to do that，” said George Jobe, executive director of CRECCOM. There are no plans to make education compulsory.

　　However, if such a law were passed tomorrow, what would it mean for Maliko?

　　He lives eleven kilometers away from the nearest school.

　　There he will find only three classrooms which are not enough to hold all the students.

　　“ Most classes，” said teacher Godfrey Nkhoma, “ are held under trees. ”
