Chalkboard Quiz

Dogon schoolchildren hold answers to questions on small chalkboards above their heads.

At school, Dogon children learn to speak, read and write French.

School has become more common in Dogon country, but the difficulty in convincing families to send their children persists.

Many children attend school for a few years, then remain at home to help with the family chores.
