Figure 1.--We are not sure what the children in this classroom are doing, but we can tell they are studying geography. On this day the topic was Africa. The students look abput 12-13 years old. We are not sure what kind of school this was. The photograph looks to have been taken in the 1950s. Notice how stark the classroom is.

We do not have a lot of information on the subjects studies. Of course this depended on the level (primary/secondary) and the type of secondary school. Sometomes it is possible to fifure out what was being taught in the classroom photographs. Materials on the children's benches or tavles or teaching materials the instructor is using also provide clues. While the methods being used are not always clear, the subject being taught sometimes is.
