A historic school in Dalahi, India, is struggling to provide quality education due to a severe teacher shortage. Government Middle School Jeruwa, which was founded in 1907, now has only two teachers for 113 students. These teachers are responsible for all students up to the eighth grade.
The school used to have eight teachers, but now the two remaining teachers are stretched thin. Vandana Kumari, the head teacher, and one assistant teacher work hard to educate all the students. However, the lack of staff makes it hard to give each student the attention they need.
This shortage is worrying parents and community members. They are concerned about the future of education at the school. It is hard to maintain high standards and provide a complete education with so few resources. Therefore, fixing the teacher shortage is essential for the school’s future.
The situation at Government Middle School Jeruwa reflects a larger problem in rural India. Many rural schools face challenges with limited resources and too few teachers. To ensure a bright future for the students, these issues must be addressed, and rural education needs more support.
