In Qazipora Tangmarg, Baramulla, a government primary school is forced to operate from a single, overcrowded room—housing 33 students spread across five different classes. With no proper classrooms or facilities, students face constant distractions as multiple lessons are taught simultaneously in the same space. The chaotic setup makes learning incredibly difficult, both for the children trying to concentrate and the teachers attempting to manage five curricula at once. This has severely impacted the quality of education, leaving students behind and disillusioned.
Parents are growing increasingly concerned about their children’s futures, fearing that the lack of basic infrastructure is jeopardizing their education. This story brings to light the everyday struggles inside this neglected school, explores the root causes of its dire condition, and demands accountability from the authorities tasked with ensuring access to quality education.
