Garo Hills Schools Crumble Amidst Monsoon and Lack of Funds
Schools in Garo Hills, India, are falling apart because of rain and lack of upkeep.
The roofs leak, the walls are damaged, and the toilets don't work, making it impossible for kids to learn when it rains.
The schools don't have enough money to fix the problems or buy basic things like books and notebooks.
This is causing students to drop out because their families can't afford the extras needed for school.
Schools in Garo Hills are shutting down due to poor infrastructure and heavy rainfall.
Dimagre SSA UP School has critical structural issues including a leaking roof and unusable toilets.
Teachers in both Dimagre schools report insufficient funds for repairs and lack of essential supplies.
Dubagre Government LP School and SSA UP School face severe space constraints and structural neglect.
Student dropouts are increasing due to the inability of families to afford educational necessities.
