Mobile Schools

On my way to office I see constructions in full swing. New towers, commercial and residential, and roads coming up at a fast pace. As I look outside from a window in my office building, I see a big portion of the city dug up, foundations being laid. Dunes of sand make it look like a small desert. It is good to see a city grow so fast.

At the construction site, I see some kids playing. It's day time, the time when they should be in school, learning new things. But there they are, running around those sand dunes, some times playing hide and seek around the giant construction equipment at site, completely unaware of the fact that their parents are playing a part in the growth of the country.

I see an irony when I see the laborers constructing the buildings, because with no education for their children, their own children might not get a chance to enter those malls or offices or residential towers that the laborers/workforce are constructing.

I sometimes wonder if we could come up with some Mobile Schools. A mobile school could reach the construction sites and help the kids learn and grow. A network of such schools could enable the continuation of the studies of such kids so that when the construction workers move from one construction site to another, their kids are not at a loss. With continued education, the construction workers kids too could someday hold a big position or own an apartment in one of the towers that their parents constructed.

If this message ever reaches the government or to a NGO, I would request the government to lay out such policies which makes the Builders or Developers to provide such a basic facility. May be the builders could contribute in part and the rest be funded by the State Governments. But I strongly believe that a such mechanism is very much a need of the hour so that we can nurture the future of kids whose parents are struggling out there playing a crucial role in constructing the future of the country. Every child must get education so that he/she can look forward to a brighter future.

Let us work together for a brighter future for the country and the planet.
