Lack of infrastructure affecting quality education in Odisha schools

While students are being taught in an unsafe building in Astaranga, shortage of classrooms prompts teachers to teach students from Class I to Class V in a classroom.

Buildings, classrooms and toilets are critical to learning environment in schools. It is proved that good quality infrastructure facilitates better teaching, improves student outcomes, and reduces dropout rates, among other benefits.

Be it primary education or upper primary education, the Odisha government has literally failed to provide required infrastructure to primary and high schools which is why students are being deprived of quality education.
