KENYAN PUPILS STREAM INTO PRIMARY SCHOOL IN NAIROBI SLUM, 2003-01-08 (photo)

Pupils stream into the Olympic Primary School in Nairobi's Kibera slum January 8, 2003. New Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki, who swept to power at elections last month, is facing what many regard as one of his first tests in office after promising to abolish fees for primary school education. Thousands of children too poor to afford school charges have swamped classrooms across the country in the hope of gaining free education for the first time. The government says 5.9 million children attend primary school in the east African country, but a further 3.3 million cannot afford the fees. REUTERS/Antony Njuguna AN/CMC
