Education
Tiri has one school.[4] In the past, Tiri school had three classrooms with tree-trunk benches and the building was made from straw. Due to this situation, the school had to stop its class during the rainy season. However, MINUSCA built a new building for the school made from durable materials in 2017 and was inaugurated in 2018.[5]
