We have rather limited information on Indian school activities at this time. Of course msnyschool activities are standard or similar all around the world. Readers in India have provided some information. We note children involved in a range of school activities. We see students coming and going to school. Most children walk to school, but there were many other ways. And there are some unquely Indian ways of getting to school. Secondary school stuydets were less likely to live in walking distance of their school. We see children in their classrooms. Here there is quite a range of classrooms, including some still very basic classrooms in rural schools. Childen take field trips to local sites like temples and parks. And their are school sports as well as well as singing and dancing. Here we aee a happy school group on a field trip to the Bangalore bontanical gardens.

School busses are not very common. And only a few children are driven to school in the family car. For some reason, bycycles do not seem all that common. We notice quite a number of jitnies, especially at private schools. And there are ox carts even in the city.
We do not yet have much information on the Indian school classroom. India is a relatively poor country with a very low oercapita income. This of course affects the financing of the school system. Especially the school buildings and the furishing of the classrooms. We see many classrooms that look much like Western schools. This is especially true of secondary schools where the children tend to have desks. The situation for primary schools is much more varied. Here there is quite a range of classrooms, including some still very basic classrooms in rural schools. his has gradualy imprved as India since independence has been building the world's largst public school system. Many primary children do not have desks. This is still quite common in rurals schools, but we see schools that arewell lit band appointed with maps and colorful material, including wall instructions empagsizing numbers and letters. There are still many Indian children that donot got to school, but it is not because there is no classroom spce, it is primarily becase of poverty. There is also an issue with girls.
