In Koppal schools, Kids labourers!
A physical education teacher makes students wash his clothes, and deliver them to his home!.
Koppal: In a perfect world, schoolteachers create awareness in society against the practice of child labour. In Koppal district, at Hosalli village in Gangavati taluk, a physical education teacher at the Government Higher Primary School makes students wash his clothes, and deliver them to his home!
The headmistress, Monamma says she has no knowledge of this even though a video recorded by villagers of students washing the clothes has gone viral.
This is not all, at the Government Higher Primary School at Vanagera village in Yelburga taluk of Koppal again, students are being used as unpaid labour to construct the school compound wall!
At many villages across Koppal and other districts, teachers use students as domestic helps with the full knowledge of their parents who are unable to object to this abhorrent practice adopted by the teachers.
District primary education department officials had nothing to say on students being utilised for manual labour when they should be studying in classrooms.
