Deplorable State of Education in Bilaspur: Government School Runs Under Peepal Tree, Parents Forced to Withdraw Children
A deeply concerning picture of the education system has emerged from Bilaspur district in Chhattisgarh, where a government school is operating under a Peepal tree due to the lack of a proper building.
This situation not only compromises the future of the students but also represents a blatant violation of the right to education.
Due to this deplorable state, many parents are being forced to withdraw their children from the school, raising serious questions about the accessibility and quality of education in rural areas.Photo: Quang Nguyen Vinh / PexelsThe incident pertains to a remote village in Bilaspur, where primary school children are compelled to study in the open air, under the shade of a Peepal tree.
The absence of a school building means that seasonal conditions like heat, rain, and cold directly impact the children's studies.
During the rainy season, the school has to be completely shut down, leading to significant loss of learning time for the children.
