Chella Sivakumar, State general secretary of Samakalvi Iyakkam said that his organization carried out a study across 155 government schools in 15 districts including Chennai, Ramanathapuram, Perambalur, Tirunelveli, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri to assess the quality.
He said: The schools chosen for the study were primary schools with less than 25 students and other schools with less than 50 children. About 37 per cent of the schools remain with thatched roofs or asbestos sheets and almost 77 per cent of the schools do not have laboratories or libraries. In view of this there is a need to constitute school management committees to keep a watch and determine the need for funds to be allocated.
