A.M.L.P.School Eppicad

Our school is right on the SH70 road in Epikad, which is in Malappuram. It is a lower primary school, so we deal with the little ones mostly. Being right on the state highway means there is always a bit of noise from the trucks and buses passing by, but we have a wall that helps a bit. The building is simple and has been around for quite a while now. We have a few classrooms and a small space for the teachers to sit during their breaks. Most of us who work here live in the surrounding village, so we know the parents and the grandparents of the children quite well. It’s the kind of place where people stop to say hello while they are heading to the market or the farm. We don't have a big budget for fancy decorations, so the walls have some drawings the kids made and maybe an old map or two. The roof gets a bit leaky when the heavy rains come, and we usually have to move a few desks around to keep things dry during class. It’s not perfect, but it’s our school. We focus on the basics like reading, writing, and arithmetic. There isn't any big corporate structure behind us. We just manage the daily schedule and make sure the kids are fed their mid-day meal. It’s a humble setup, but it’s an important part of life here in Epikad for all the local families.
