Schools with FM Radio !

Education used to be for the elite classes in an era. However, now you would find hundreds of schools sprouting in all corners of India and specially Bangalore. I would categorize them as Small Scale, Medium Scale & Large Scale Education Ltd. These are the organizations set-up to impart education to all, however money raking is the end motive which goes hidden from public eyes.

The Govt of India is driving seriously its educational program, "Sarva Sikshya Abhyaan" [which roughly translates to Education for All ], sadly the sarva shiksha i feel is getting stunted to the cities. In every cross you would be able to find one or the other school. 15 students, 3 teachers, 1 lady to clean & also gong the bell.. this is the scene of a school nearby to my pad. All the time the children are screaming, giving a noisy peace to the inhabitants on the street, there never is any proper classes being conducted... the children at the most are enjoying this break to scream, fly paper planes, chalk out the walls.

Add to this, an FM Radio is played so that children gets a 'much required' break from studies. Well what more can you ask at this tender age, what an exposure you get .. awesome. Do we then start some cinematic song classes too in schools.. won't it give your children a much needed break from studies while at school, after all at home they are only studying movies & soaps that are dished out by the ever increasing number of TV Channels.
