“Lack of basic facilities such as sanitation, water and electricity made me drop out of school last year.”
Lack of Basic Facilities Forces Student to Drop Out of School
A student has revealed that the absence of fundamental facilities such as sanitation, clean water, and electricity forced them to leave school last year. The case highlights the ongoing challenges faced by students in underprivileged areas, where inadequate infrastructure often disrupts education and hampers academic progress.
According to the student, attending classes became increasingly difficult due to broken toilets, irregular electricity supply, and limited access to drinking water. “It was impossible to continue studying in such conditions,” the student said, emphasizing that these issues are widespread in many government schools.
Education advocates say that lack of basic amenities is a major factor contributing to dropout rates, particularly among girls and students from rural communities. They urge authorities to prioritize infrastructure improvements, provide clean water, functional sanitation, and reliable electricity to ensure a conducive learning environment.
Local officials have acknowledged the problem and stated that plans are underway to upgrade facilities in affected schools. However, education experts stress the need for immediate action, as prolonged neglect can have long-term negative effects on students’ academic performance and future opportunities.
