Assam School Kids

Villagers in Darogar Alga char in Assam, now in news over tearing down of a madrasa, said they chose the religious seminaries over formal schooling as the quality of education in single-teacher lower primary institutions here was doubtful.

Assam Schools: Many parents in Assam are determined not to send their kids back to schools amid COVID-19 even if the schools reopen from next month.

Older children studying at the Akshar School for a few years have been trained to teach the younger students. They get paid for this, which encourages them to remain in the school and not drop out themselves.

Little children in Assam's Biswanath district risk their lives every day to go to school. A video of the students crossing a swift-flowing river in aluminum pots grabbed attention on social media on Friday.

At least 25 school students complained of nausea, stomach ache and fever after being administered measles vaccine Saturday in Assam's Hailakandi district, officials said.

Despite a decreasing trend, the number of children who drop out of schools in Assam is alarming.
