Teacher Starts Free School in Remote Bengal Village
Imagine a teacher named Malati who lives in a small village far away from the city.
She noticed that kids in her village didn't like going to school very much, and many stopped learning even if they did go.
This was because they were poor and didn't have anyone to help them with their studies.
So, Malati decided to open her own school right in her house!
She teaches the children for free, starting in February 2020.
Her husband helps her a lot with this special school.
Malati wants to make sure all the children in her village get a good education, even if it's hard for them.
Malati Murmu started a free school in her home in a remote West Bengal village.
The school began in February 2020.
The initiative aims to counter low student interest and high dropout rates.
Poverty and lack of guidance were identified as key reasons for educational struggles.
Malati's husband provides support for the school.
