Bukalo Primary is one of the leading primary schools in the region has far as learner's performance is concerned, it some times beats schools in the Katima Mulilo town. Bukalo Primary School’s classroom are mostly made of bricks, but there are 3 class rooms which are made of mud, which no one likes to learn in because they are dark inside, they have no electricity and have dusty floors. The government runs a feeding program at the school, it provides maize meal from which porridge is cooked and served to children who are registered as orphans and vulnerable children, OVCs in short, but these kids are not usually served with this porridge as the school is experiencing problems in getting volunteers to cook it
