Answer:
The picture shows three schoolgirls playing a game of cricket instead of being at school. It shows that, just like boys,
girls can also skip school and play games during the time when they should be at school. They are shown in the picture as carrying their school bags as backpacks. So it appears that they had got ready for school and left their homes for attending school. But then, why did these girls skip school?
From the dress worn by the girls in the picture, it appears they are living in either a rural area or in a small town and they are enrolled in a government school. It is well-known that three-quarters of India’s schools are operated by the government, but nearly half of these schools don’t have separate usable toilet facilities for girl students. The situation is relatively better in private schools. Consequently, many girls either skip classes or drop out from school altogether. Many of them avoid eating breakfast at home before going to school, so that they don’t need to use a toilet during school time. Due to this, they feel sleepy during the class, thus faring poorly in tests. Thus, their aspirations bring girls to schools, but lack of toilets drives them away.
Separate toilets for girls are highly inadequate in schools and are definitely one of the reasons for dropping out. But more than anything else, it is a dignity issue and an issue of security for girl students. Going outdoors to answer nature’s call poses a serious threat to the dignity of these girls. In addition, for older girls who are menstruating, the issue of menstrual health comes up. But schools often fail to recognise this or are unable to do anything due to lack of funds. So, even those who don’t actually drop out, end up missing school for almost a week every month. Further, when a girl does not go to school, there is constant pressure on her parents to marry her off, thus causing a child marriage. Consequently we end up having an uneducated girl who is a child bride and unable to face the world on her own. The government must wake up and take strong steps to redress this wrong against half of our population.
