Govt.School Tekunamath

You can find us at B-65 in Uttam Nagar, which is a pretty crowded part of Delhi. The school is right in the middle of all the shops and houses. It’s a government school, so we follow the standard rules and curriculum. The streets around here are narrow, so there’s always a lot of movement and noise. Our building isn't very large, but we pack a lot into it. The teachers come from all over the city, taking the metro or buses to get here every morning. We have classrooms that are often quite full, especially in the middle of the term. We focus on the basic subjects and try to keep the students on track with their studies. It’s a lot of work because there are so many kids and only so many of us. We have a small office where we handle all the registrations and the various government forms that need filling out. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to open all the windows to keep the rooms from getting too hot. It’s just a regular school life in a busy Delhi suburb. People around Uttam Nagar know the school well because it’s been here for years. We don’t have any fancy brochures or websites. We just open the doors every day and get to work teaching the local kids. It’s a tough job sometimes, but we are used to the rhythm of it all by now.
