The Attendance: Reconfiguring Government Schools in India

India is home to at least one of the most important & complex education system within the world. There are over 1.5 million schools & quite 260 million school-goers in India. Schools providing primary education counts for 56.58% of the entire number of faculties in India. Students within the age bracket of 6 -14 years are entitled to free & compulsory education under the “Right of youngsters to Free & compulsory education” Act 2009 ( RTE ). There are about 10 lakh government schools in India offering primary education. But these schools are in extremely bad shape with some even lacking basic amenities like electricity & water.

Education in India has become more of a business than a source of data . Lack of administration & poor utilization of funds are leading to critical infrastructural gaps in government schools of India. one among the main problems is that there are too many unviable sub-scale government schools in India with only a couple of numbers of scholars & inadequate resources.

The Challenge is to style a faculty for 400 students from grade 1 to eight with all state of the art facilities. The proposed educational facility should have areas that are collaborative, interactive and multi-functional. These educational spaces should even be useful to the area people post-school hours. As designers, it’s our duty to supply an answer through architecture as our primary tool & help many children in achieving a far better educational infrastructure.
