Barigam High School

Barigam High School is situated out in the Barigam R.F area near Salem. It’s a government school, so things are pretty basic around here. We don't have a lot of extra money for decorations or new furniture. Most of our desks have been used by many students over the years. The school is surrounded by a bit of greenery since it’s near the forest area, which makes the air feel a bit different than in the city. We have a small group of teachers who travel out here every day to meet the students. The kids mostly come from the local villages nearby. They walk or cycle to get to their classes. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when the kids are out on the grounds for their break. We follow the standard government curriculum and try to keep things moving along. Sometimes the power goes out, or we run out of chalk, but we make do with what we have. It’s a very grounded place. There’s no pretense here. We are just here to provide a place for the children in this part of Salem to go to school. The walls might need a bit of paint, and the gate might creak, but it’s a school that belongs to the community. We're just people working to help the kids learn their lessons and get through the school year.
