Summary Life in a secondary and in a primary school in the Ugandan town of Masindi. In this episode, how ancient tradition clashes (or makes do) with modern education.All over Masindi you catch glimpses of Western influence. Mobile phones, premiership football shirts, pop music and even a bit of bling. But this is a society where the old ways still flourish. Local elders still dispense justice. And witchcraft is widely practised. In Uganda, ancient traditions are being adapted to suit an increasingly modern world. Even witchdoctors now advertise on the radio. The school children in Masindi are growing up in a world where their traditional and modern cultures frequently clash
