Due to lack of enough classrooms, 150 students from classes 1 to 3 are forced to sit through classes under the mango trees. With not enough blackboards, students of various grades are also being taught in a single classroom. [break]The teachers sit on a chair and his students sit on the ground on tattered rugs.
“We are being treated as animals, not students,” said a 7th grader, adding, “The teachers are mostly busy gossiping and the students waste their time in class talking about nonsensical things.”
The same student further informed that there are only two or three regular teachers in the school. “Distressed by the conditions in the school, most students in the lower grades attend only a month of classes in a whole year.”
According to the school administration, this grim situation is the result of mismanagement of grants and the political bias which is rife.
The school runs classes up to grade 9 and has a total of 450 students.
