Subject - Depleting condition of the Government schools
Respected Sir,
I, XYZ, am working as a professor of human studies. I am conducting a study and survey on the literacy rate in the city of Hyderabad for a project. In one of these visits, I happened to visit the Maharishi Government school in Begumpet, Hyderabad.
I express my displeasure and sadly say that the condition of this school seems to be very bad. There were cracks in the building which could quite dangerous to the children and the teaching staff, there were no proper furniture, no lights or fans, no facilities for proper bathrooms. There was just 2 bathrooms, 1 for the children and 1 for the teachers, both of which were filthy.
There is no playground or provision for extra-curricular activities for the children. The open space after the gate is just sand and garbage. Also, the number of students who have been attending the school seems to go down every month as per the attendance sheets. The students who are in the class do not seem to listen to the teacher who is teaching at the top of her voice and she does not intend to discipline them to stay silent. They seem to be oblivious to each other.
Also, there is no provision for drinking water or for eating food during the breaks. The children sit in the open ground on the sand and eat their food.
The vision was heartbreaking. I request to put forward a word for the development of this school and for providing good educational facilities to these children to help them grow into good citizens and productive adults.
Look forward to a positive reply.
Thanking you,
Your's sincerely,
XYZ.

Subject: Bad condition of Government Schools
Sir:
I am writing to your good-self to express my deep anguish and
concern over the ever-continuing problem of poorly maintained Government
schools.
Yesterday I had to visit a Government run school as part of
my project. I was shocked to see the bad conditions prevailing there. First and
foremost there was no cleanliness anywhere. The school was littered with
wrappers, torn paper, leaves, rocks and dirt.
The stink from the washrooms was noxiously annoying. The plaster
on the walls required immediate repair. There was no furniture; students were
sitting on mats on the cold floor. The attendance was very thin. In most of the
classes there was no teacher. The few teachers that were present were doing
everything but teaching.
Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to the
education ministry to look into the plight of Government run schools. A majority
of children in the rural parts of India study in these schools. How can we
prepare skilled manpower from such schools if their standard is so poor?
Kindly give my views enough space in your reputed daily.
Yours truly,
Anand Tahkur
