We’re producing a new special about hunger, airing next fall on public television — and for the past week I’ve been scouting in Ethiopia, one of Africa’s development success stories.

One big takeaway has been that education is a government priority — and a fundamental part of Ethiopia’s success. The number of K-8 schools here has tripled in the last 20 years, and almost all Ethiopian children now go to primary school. Here’s a fun look at the art that decorates the playground at one of them.
