Teachers sitting on tables and chairs on the national highway
Due to the online class regulations, the teachers of Ghatwa Tola Bochahi Primary School in Jamalpur block did something that surprised everyone. The flood reached the school on Thursday morning and the water has accumulated in the school for about 4 to 5 feet. Meanwhile, the principal and class teacher of the school dismissed the students but placed chairs on the national highway for students to attend online classes.
Principal Prabhat Ranjan, teachers Prem Kumar and Prashant Kumar worked in the scorching heat as they placed tables and chairs in front of the school on the main road (NH-80) leading to Bariyarpur-Munger. People walking on the main road were shocked to see the condition of the teachers.
The principal told us that the flood water has entered our school. We are sitting on the road because we are doing the attendance online. So people cannot go anywhere near the school. So, as per the department’s order, the department’s work can only be done sitting on the road. The department has been informed about this. Now whatever order is given will be followed. There are 56 students in the school.
