Caged students!
My vision got glued into many pairs of little hands sticking out, holding the steel rods of a heavily ribbed closed front gate of an English medium school at Uttara the other day while I was passing by to meet an urgent piece of business. The time was during the tiffin break. I could only mange to see some dark figures of those caged children holding the gate, it seemed as if they were trying to breathe some fresh air.
Our tiffin break was a time when we used to break free after the fourth period to explore areas of our own interest under the open sky facilitated with gigantic school premises, basketball courts, football fields and what not! Now my question is whether going to such an English medium School is the sole option which lacks the indispensable facilities for a healthy environment for our kids to grow?
