Children cooking at school
The education of a school in Uttar Pradesh’s Etawa has become a topic of discussion these days. But if you think this discussion is about studies then it is not. Instead of giving education to children in this education temple, they are being made to work. The head teacher makes the children clean the school and prepare midday meals. He is also accused of making children clean toilets.
This case is from Nagla Pir village of Badhpura block of Etawah district. Where children are being made to work instead of studying in joint government schools. It is alleged that Principal Shaheen Begum makes the children clean the toilets in the school and also prepares the mid-day meal. Cylinders, dung cakes and wood are also brought from outside for the school. Some videos related to this matter have also surfaced.
