Mobile Schools launched in Hyderabad, less privileged children

To root out the practice of Child Labor the administration initiated the process of sensitizing all the stakeholders - parents, employers and opinion-makers - about sending the children to school.

The concept of a school inside a vehicle to attract more children towards education gets pep today at Hyderabad with the Labor Ministry giving an approval for launching `Mobile School’. The State government proposes to station the `Mobile School’ bus near the construction sites where there are many children. This is the most vital initiative of the government in the welfare of the construction labor. The school shall move around the city and teach the children who are less privileged. The main ideology is to bring the school nearer to the site where construction labor does their works.

The inside of the bus is bright and clean, its walls festooned with the alphabet, numbers and pictures of fruit and animals. Children perch on seats around the inside of the bus, writing on slates they hold on their laps.

The goal of `Mobile School’ is to teach the children enough for them to be mainstreamed into government schools. The greatest hurdles are things ranging from the erratic schedule of the students, and the varied mindset of their families, for successful implementation.
