Bana ba sekolo

“Bana ba Sekolo” is a well-known Sesotho/Setswana children’s song meaning “School Children.” Adapted from the French melody “Frère Jacques,” it is traditionally sung to call learners to class when the school bell rings. The lyrics encourage children to listen for the bell and come to school, making it a simple, educational rhyme commonly used in early primary classrooms across Southern Africa.
