&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;Voicing concern about closures of government primary schools in Tamil Nadu, members of the Samakalvi Iyakkam, a child rights movement, urged the state government not to close or merge schools citing poor strength. They also demanded for the reopening the schools that were closed or merged in the last 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quoting RTI replies, members of the NGO, in a press meet here on Tuesday, said as many as 38 schools were closed across 12 districts in Tamil Nadu in the last three years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO also conducted its own survey and studied 155 schools across 15 districts that are on the verge of closure. The districts included Chennai, Vellore, Salem, Trichy and Dindigul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The study took stock of parameters like student strength, number of teachers, infrastructure, playground, functional toilets, safe drinking water facility and the constitution of a school management committee. Chella Selvakumar, state general secretary of the NGO said that out of the 155 schools, 111 schools have less than 25 students while 36 schools with less than 10 students as per their study. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other findings revealed that 37% of schools still remain with thatched roof/asbestos sheet, 77% do not have labs, computers or library facilities, 50% do not have playground and compound wall facilities, 38% do not have safe drinking water and functional toilets while 75% of schools do not have adequate class rooms. The survey also claimed that 22 schools at the primary level have only one teacher and 103 schools have two teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The criteria for selection of schools for the study were: primary schools with less than 25 children, schools with less than 50 children, schools with poor infrastructure, and those affected by private schools in the neighbourhood. &lt;br /&gt;

They also demanded for the reopening the schools that were closed or merged in the last 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quoting RTI replies, members of the NGO, in a press meet here on Tuesday, said as many as 38 schools were closed across 12 districts in Tamil Nadu in the last three years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NGO also conducted its own survey and studied 155 schools across 15 districts that are on the verge of closure. The districts included Chennai, Vellore, Salem, Trichy and Dindigul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study took stock of parameters like student strength, number of teachers, infrastructure, playground, functional toilets, safe drinking water facility and the constitution of a school management committee. Chella Selvakumar, state general secretary of the NGO said that out of the 155 schools, 111 schools have less than 25 students while 36 schools with less than 10 students as per their study. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other findings revealed that 37% of schools still remain with thatched roof/asbestos sheet, 77% do not have labs, computers or library facilities, 50% do not have playground and compound wall facilities, 38% do not have safe drinking water and functional toilets while 75% of schools do not have adequate class rooms. The survey also claimed that 22 schools at the primary level have only one teacher and 103 schools have two teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The criteria for selection of schools for the study were: primary schools with less than 25 children, schools with less than 50 children, schools with poor infrastructure, and those affected by private schools in the neighbourhood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/155-govt-schools-in-Tamil-Nadu-on-verge-of-closure-NGO-survey/articleshow/54554140.cms&quot; title=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/155-govt-schools-in-Tamil-Nadu-on-verge-of-closure-NGO-survey/articleshow/54554140.cms&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;Voicing concern about closures of government primary schools in Tamil Nadu, members of the Samakalvi Iyakkam, a child rights movement, urged the state government not to close or merge schools citing poor strength. They also demanded for the reopening the schools that were closed or merged in the last 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quoting RTI replies, members of the NGO, in a press meet here on Tuesday, said as many as 38 schools were closed across 12 districts in Tamil Nadu in the last three years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO also conducted its own survey and studied 155 schools across 15 districts that are on the verge of closure. The districts included Chennai, Vellore, Salem, Trichy and Dindigul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The study took stock of parameters like student strength, number of teachers, infrastructure, playground, functional toilets, safe drinking water facility and the constitution of a school management committee. Chella Selvakumar, state general secretary of the NGO said that out of the 155 schools, 111 schools have less than 25 students while 36 schools with less than 10 students as per their study. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other findings revealed that 37% of schools still remain with thatched roof/asbestos sheet, 77% do not have labs, computers or library facilities, 50% do not have playground and compound wall facilities, 38% do not have safe drinking water and functional toilets while 75% of schools do not have adequate class rooms. The survey also claimed that 22 schools at the primary level have only one teacher and 103 schools have two teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The criteria for selection of schools for the study were: primary schools with less than 25 children, schools with less than 50 children, schools with poor infrastructure, and those affected by private schools in the neighbourhood. &lt;br /&gt;

155 govt schools in Tamil Nadu on verge of closure: NGO survey

-The Times of India Chennai: Voicing concern about closures of government primary schools in Tamil Nadu, members of the Samakalvi Iyakkam, a child rights movement, urged the state government not to close or merge schools citing poor strength. They also demanded for the reopening the schools that were closed or merged in the last 10 years. Quoting RTI replies, members of the NGO, in a press meet here on Tuesday, said as many as 38 schools were closed across 12 districts in Tamil Nadu in the last three years. The NGO also conducted its own survey and studied 155 schools across 15 districts that are on the verge of closure. The districts included Chennai, Vellore, Salem, Trichy and Dindigul. The study took stock of parameters like student strength, number of teachers, infrastructure, playground, functional toilets, safe drinking water facility and the constitution of a school management committee. Chella Selvakumar, state general secretary of the NGO said that out of the 155 schools, 111 schools have less than 25 students while 36 schools with less than 10 students as per their study. Other findings revealed that 37% of schools still remain with thatched roof/asbestos sheet, 77% do not have labs, computers or library facilities, 50% do not have playground and compound wall facilities, 38% do not have safe drinking water and functional toilets while 75% of schools do not have adequate class rooms. The survey also claimed that 22 schools at the primary level have only one teacher and 103 schools have two teachers. The criteria for selection of schools for the study were: primary schools with less than 25 children, schools with less than 50 children, schools with poor infrastructure, and those affected by private schools in the neighbourhood.
