Bhopal has 41 single-tutor-run schools, 442 with surplus hands
  • Most of the buildings are in ruins; girls' toilet in one of them remain locked

The rationale of the school education department regarding the proportionate appointment of teachers in educational institutions stands exposed as the state capital reveals a bizarre picture of schools within its jurisdiction. While as many as 41 primary schools operate with a single teacher, 442 institutions have an excess of teaching staff.

The government, however, does not post the extra teachers to the short-staffed schools to boost primary education. Apart from shortage of teachers, most of the primary school buildings are in ruins.

Such rundown school buildings stand in different localities in the state capital.
