It is good to follow standard procedures as regards treatment of children at schools. But enrolling children more than the school building can accommodate also calls for expanding the infrastructure of the schools.

Children able to enroll in school still face barriers as government-run schools are situated far away from the homes.

They don’t earn enough to consider private schools within their areas. Schools must be located within walking distance. There are several factors because of which government can fail to achieve its target.

Constituency PP 160 is an example which is not a remote area but the situation is like a isolated village.
