In February Sophie Küspert-Rakotondrainy completed a questionnaire among 112 children in the 5th grade at 4 primary schools in Toliara. These are some of the results:
44 % of the children watch TV every day
46 % of the children don’t own a single book
18 % of the children never read books
These results show that the children watch a lot of TV, but that they don’t read because they neither have books at home nor at school. It must be mentioned that these children live in one of the biggest towns in Madagascar. On the countryside they won’t have TV (or books), whereas it is normal with a TV in nearly every home in town.
