Yesterday, this paper carried an extensive report on a Marathi municipal school in Erangal village in Marve, where basic facilities are either absent or leave much to be desired. The Erangal Marathi Municipal School, on Malad’s Marve Beach, has no fans or lights in classrooms. There is no headmaster and just six teachers to handle 286 students from Std I to X.

Those are just the academic part of the conditions. The rest of the infrastructure is just as bad. The toilet has no roof and the windows are uncovered, even in the monsoon. In the report, a student is quoted as saying that girls feel unsafe while using the toilet because of this.
