Poor schools need help
Every year the nation marks the Education Day with different
programmes on the 12th of Falgun throughout the country. We have
been celebrating the day for many years now. Schools and colleges
remain closed to celebrate the day. Some of the rich schools
distribute prizes to their students who have done well in their final
examinations while poor schools distribute sweets to their students.
All teachers want to encourage their students in their studies by giving
them prizes but they cannot do so because they lack money. The
government hardly provides the schools money except for paying the
teachers.
Therefore I request the authorities concerned to provide certain
amount of money to the poor schools to buy the goods to be
distributed as prizes on the Education Day so as to encourage all the
students to excel in their studies.
