Gyansarita U B Madhyamik Shala

We are located in Rakhial, over in the Gandhinagar area. It’s a secondary school, so we deal with the older kids who are preparing for their board exams and figuring out what to do next with their lives. The building is a standard size for this area. It’s got a bit of a courtyard in the middle where everyone gathers for the morning assembly. It can get quite loud with all the students talking at once before things start. The classrooms are filled with the usual wooden benches and large windows to let in the air. Rakhial can be a busy place, but once you’re inside the gates, it feels a bit more contained and quiet. We have a staff room where we spend a lot of time grading papers and planning the next day’s work. There’s always a lot of tea being drunk in there while we talk. We don’t have any fancy facilities or big sports grounds. We just have the basics that a school needs to function properly. The students come from the nearby housing and the surrounding villages. They’re mostly good kids who want to do well. We spend a lot of time pushing them to study hard because we know how important these years are for them. It’s a lot of routine. Bell rings, classes start, lunch break happens, more classes, and then everyone finally heads home.
