Gujarat Village School Has One Student and Two Teachers
In a small village school in Gujarat, there's only one student left.
The school, which teaches kids from nursery to 5th grade, used to have lots of children, but as families moved away to find work, the number of students went down.
Even though there's just one student, the school still has two teachers.
The local education officials want the student to go to a nearby school, but his father wants him to stay.
This school is now an exception, with much fewer students.
A primary school in Bhurbhendi village, Gujarat, has only one student.
The school has two teachers despite the low enrollment.
The village, near the Gujarat-Maharashtra border, has a population of around 200 residents.
Student numbers dwindled as families moved for work, dropping from several students to one.
School officials plan to transfer one teacher to a neighboring school, but the student's father refused a transfer.
