I doubt it has a viewfinder. But why would one want one? For cameras without image stabilisation the use of the viewfinder ensures
that the camera is held firmly and in a controlled manner. Holding a camera ay
arms length (or somewhat less) to see a screen makes the arms more likely to
shake.
Screens can be affected by incident light.
That's my view (or prejudice)
PS in the case of use by primary school children viewfinder cameras might
be less vulnerable to damage.
PPS bought in wholesale quantities in the UK disposable film cameras can
cost as little as £1.50. There might be a case for using them initially
and then moving on to digital if there was sufficient enthusiasm for the
photography project.
