A primary school head teacher in a rural area was forced to climb a tree to submit student attendance records due to a complete lack of mobile network connectivity. After failing to find a signal on the school roof and a nearby hilltop, the teacher scaled an approximately 30-40 foot tall mango tree to transmit a photograph of the attendance register. The incident highlights the ongoing difficulties faced by educators in remote regions of the country regarding digital record-keeping and reporting requirements. Reliable mobile network access remains a significant barrier to implementing modern educational practices in these areas. The teacher’s actions underscore the lengths to which staff are going to fulfill administrative obligations despite infrastructural limitations. This situation raises questions about the adequacy of network infrastructure in supporting educational initiatives nationwide. Authorities have not yet commented on the incident or announced plans to improve connectivity in the affected region.
