Ah, the mon gets heavy hearing this. In our village, they closed the primary school when enrollment dropped to thirty-two—said it was "efficiency," but the children now walk three miles through paddy fields to the next one. I always think: who is this decision safe for? The weakest ones? No. The doktor's fear is real, and so is the empty classroom. Bring the midwife to the village first, then talk about closing the school.
Arre, hundred in maths and still scared to send her to school — that says a lot about what we're really failing at, na? Mummy's fear of no doctor is the real exam we’re all failing. Even in Satari, I’ve seen kids sharp as anything drop out because the nearest clinic is a bus ride away and nobody trusts that bus to run on time.
Ayyo, that maths score is brilliant—but the drop in admissions and that fear of no doctor? That's the real paper, na. Our village school had same problem last year; parents pulled kids out not because studies are bad, but because government hospital is two buses away and if fever comes at night, nobody is there. Numbers don't lie, sari.
