Hozeifa (with the red vest) was 10 years old when he joined the Elrayan School, coming from a class of some 100 children at a private school. As most of the students are from the south of the country and he comes from the north, he had to get used to the new environment. But after a few weeks, he knew he wanted to stay. “It is much better organised here,” he said. “The teachers are also much nicer. They explain things to us. And at the other school, they beat us really hard.”
He likes maths and singing, and later wants to work in his father’s garage.
