The seating arrangement did not meet even the basic
requirements, let alone a good standard. Old broken
furniture was placed with sharp edges protruding
which is a hazard to the pupil‘s safety and 90 percent
of students sat on floor and on dirty corridors.
A very serious and surprising problem was that the
school was extremely over populated .The total area
of the school premises is 4450 sq.mt. Which is
extremely less and is not sufficient for 4200 students,
let alone enough rooms. There is no area or land left
for further construction of rooms.
Since there were only 41 rooms for 4200 students
with no land left, we devised a solution of dividing the
school into two units. A separate building was arranged
for students and Buses were arranged for transporting
the students and teachers to the new building where
they were provided proper facilities and environment
of a school.
A school does not feel like one without a Morning Assembly and this school never saw a morning
assembly. Morning Assembly is where we can pray, where we can develop a feeling of Nationalism and
Patriotism and impart moral values through songs and speeches and induce a sense of belonging to own
school among children.
There was a lack of participation of students in co-curricular activities. The students had lots of potential
but were never exposed to various opportunities and had knowledge of neither.
Communication is epitome of any species‘ growth and we as human beings have only succeeded as a
species because of communication. But here in the school there was poor connection between students,
teachers and Principal as well. The culture of communication was very introverted.
A laid back attitude among teachers regarding school as a system was identified which further affected the
teaching, teaching pattern and its seriousness. This in turn negatively affected the overall result and
upbringing of the students
Since the pattern of teaching was based on old classical model, there was lack of not only academic
development but also moral and ethical values and other various aspects which hinders the effectiveness
of a Complete Education System as a whole. This resulted in children with lack of academic knowledge
as well as a poor personality with bad habits, which in turn affects our whole society
All these problems resulted in another cumulative problem and a serious one. The school‘s spirit was
dead. There was no enthusiasm among students or children for the school. A perpetual dullness was
observed by me and everyone seemed to have a passive attitude towards the school.
