Learning in a school without walls

Delhi | Tuesday | 19th September, 2017

Summary:

The school immediately moved to temporary sheds on Eidgah land and has been there since as the Delhi government never fulfilled its promise to rebuild the school. During the Emergency, the Delhi government razed the building to make flats and promised to rebuild the school. Exposed to the elements, these sheds are the only infrastructure that Qaumi Senior Secondary School has had for over 40 years. The Delhi High Court last week asked the AAP government and the authorities concerned to explore the possibility of allotting land for the school. The courts direction came after hearing of a PIL seeking reconstruction of the building of the school filed by civil activist Firoz Bakht Ahmed who had brought the "sad and pitiable" state of the school to the court..
