It is noticed that the periphery of Schools in our state are more littered than at locations where there are no Schools. Most notably around those Schools where students are allowed to exit their compound and gates during breaks, enabling them access to public shops and those set-up to particularly cater to their needs. Therefore teachers and institutions ought to give more and more effort towards educating our students not only on their personal hygiene but also upon public hygiene and other social etiquettes. Only few private and government schools are said to be focusing on this aspect.
Majority of our children are often noticed not making use of dust/waste bins even when provided or is available to them. This is happening both inside their Schools and outside of it. It is also noticed that though some institutions ensure that their premises are not littered by their students. They completely fail to impress their students not to do the same once beyond it.
The amounts of waste school going students are littering our roads during breaks and while on their way to school and back home from school is saddening.
Such matters might seem inconsequential a decade back. But at this age and period how we behave in public places and how we treat public property is much more important than how we behave in private and treat personal property.
Hoping that proprietors, administrators and teachers of all Schools especially those defaulting institutions take note of this humble yet factual observation and take corrective measures.
