Super School in Tamil Nadu

Super School in Tamil Nadu

Deep inside Tamil Nadu, at a place called Ramampalayam, somewhere near Mettuppalayam, Tamil Nadu, a silent revolution is taking place at a "Government Elementary School".

• Super School @ Ramampalayam somewhere near Mettuppalayam, Tamil Nadu - This is a link which is written in Tamil. Even if you don't understand Tamil, the pictures of the school premises are worth taking a look. Given below is a brief translation of a small portion of the same:

Due to the efforts of a dedicated teacher by name Franklin, the school has transformed into a model school with, among other things, the following facilities:

• Proper flooring for all classrooms
• Good quality Blackboard
• Purified Drinking water (hot and cold) in each classroom
• False roofing
• Ceiling Fans
• Modern lighting
• Speakers / Microphones on walls
• Good quality labs
• Undamaged reading tables and chairs for students
• Uniforms
• Shoes & Socks for all
• First Aid box (functional)
• Fire Extinguisher
• Upgraded computers
• DVD Players

Apparently, he galvanised the village elders into taking things into their own hands and jointly develop all the above facilities for the school. In addition to "covering the syllabus", the school ensures that each child learns English, Drawing, Yoga, Different sports, Basic leadership, Reading a newspaper daily, Moral Sciences, etc.

May more such schools materialise all over India. God knows we neeed hundreds of them!!!
