A young woman wearing a brown hijab and black abaya is standing in what appears to be a classroom, reading from a dark-covered book. She holds a string of light blue prayer beads, draped over her hand. To her right, another person, partially visible and wearing an orange garment, is also present. In the background, a whiteboard is mounted on a wall, and a piece of paper with Arabic script is affixed to the wall. The environment appears simple, with textured walls and a plain floor. The lighting is natural, suggesting daylight.
The image captures a group of young boys, likely students, gathered closely together in a room with a brick wall and a wooden bench. The boys are dressed in light-colored clothing, with some wearing white shirts and one boy sporting a traditional kufi cap. Their heads are bowed, and they appear to be engaged in a shared activity, possibly reading or listening to an instructor. The setting suggests an informal educational or religious gathering. The photograph provides a glimpse into a community space, potentially a Koranic school or a similar learning environment within the city of Jos, Nigeria. The lighting is natural, suggesting an indoor setting during the day.

In an outdoor setting on a dirt ground, possibly in Jos, Nigeria, a group of people are gathered. A man wearing a red cap, a white t-shirt with a graphic, and dark pants stands in the foreground facing left. To his right, several individuals, predominantly women, are seated or standing, many wearing hijabs and traditional clothing in shades of brown, beige, and pink. The architecture in the background appears to be a concrete wall. Some of the women are looking towards the man, while others are looking away or at the ground. The environment is informal, suggesting a community gathering or event.

A group of people, likely students, are gathered in a classroom with a teacher. The room appears to be simple, with rough walls and wooden benches serving as desks. A whiteboard is visible on the wall. Several individuals are seated, facing a man who is standing at the front of the room, possibly the teacher. Some of the individuals are wearing headscarves, suggesting a religious setting. One person is reading from a book, while others appear to be listening or engaged in study. The overall atmosphere seems to be one of focused learning.
A young Black male, appearing to be in his late teens, stands in front of a rough, textured brick wall. He is wearing a bright blue, long-sleeved garment with intricate stitching around the neckline and down the front placket, which is partially unzipped. His right hand is raised, with fingers slightly splayed, as if gesturing or in mid-conversation. His mouth is open, suggesting he is speaking.
To his right, another individual, whose face is not visible, is seen from the chest up, wearing a white garment. The background features a dark opening or doorway above a stacked pile of woven mats, predominantly orange and black. The scene is likely outdoors, given the natural lighting and the context of the rough brick wall, typical of informal structures found in parts of Jos, Nigeria. The overall impression is a candid moment of interaction between two people in a casual, possibly rural or semi-urban, setting.

An overhead, slightly tilted medium shot captures a group of young Black individuals gathered around a teacher in what appears to be an informal learning environment, possibly in Jos, Nigeria. The scene is set on a dirt floor with a rough, earthy-toned wall in the background. A white board with faint blue markings and text is visible in the upper right corner.
In the center, a teacher, dressed in a cream-colored garment with intricate patterned weaving, is kneeling and looking down at a paper he is holding. He is surrounded by four young boys. Two boys are positioned directly in front of him, also looking at the paper. One of these boys wears a dark blue jacket, while the other, to his left, is wearing a bright blue shirt. The boy in the blue shirt has his back mostly to the camera. Another boy, wearing a light-colored hoodie with subtle stripe patterns, is standing to the far left of the frame, his head bowed.
To the right of the teacher, a boy in a white traditional robe and a black kufi hat is looking upwards and to the right, with his right index finger near his mouth. His expression suggests contemplation or engagement with the lesson. In the lower left corner, a book, appearing to be religious text with Arabic script, rests on a rough wooden surface, held by a hand not fully visible. The overall atmosphere suggests a moment of focused learning and instruction.
