Teachers forced innocent female students to wipe sewerage water out of the low-lying ground of the classrooms in sweltering hot weather. As per details, teachers forced students of Govt Girls Primary School, Glotiyaan Kalan, Daska Tehsil, to wipe out stagnant sewerage water from the school ground during the school timings.
The problem of entering sewerage water into the classes of the said school for the last last ten years. Instead of solving the issue of clogged sanitation system or reporting the matter to the concerned authorities to be sorted out, teachers forced the girl students to wipe the stagnant water out of the classrooms. When contacted, the school teachers claimed this practice was a part of their so-called ‘good’ education.
On the other hand, the students expressed that they did this so to obey and please their teachers, and that this practice has become a part of their daily routine. Moreover, the clogged sewerage system also passes through the low lying ground of the school, producing rotten smell and suffocation and posing a serious threat to the health of students and the teachers as well.
Local, social, religious, educational and political circles have expressed concern over this grave situation, saying that the issue should be resolved, for the minor school girls are there to get education and not to wipe stagnant water out of the ground. They demanded for a result oriented action from Khadim-e-Aala Punjab against negligent teachers.
