In Africa, education is very
valued. It is free to go to
elementary school, but it costs
money to go to high school. Not
many people can afford to go.
There are many different
types of schools. Some are
private schools. Families must
pay or receive scholarships to
attend. Scholarships are gifts
of free money for education.
Some schools teach English
and others teach Swahili. There
are even schools in villages.

8. Art
There are many different types of art in Africa
like paintings, sculptures, cloth, and beadwork. These
are ways that people can express their culture.
Art is often about animals, villages, or families
because those are highly valued in their culture.
