Tribal kids wait for 1 hour daily for school to open in Tiruchy

New Indian Express  

TIRUCHY: For tribal students from remote villages under Sobanapuram panchayat of the district, commuting to school is a daily challenge. Over 70 students travel about eight kilometres to attend the government high school in Sobanapuram, with some cycling, others relying on parents for lifts, and more than 40 depending on a single government bus that runs twice a day. The Thuraiyur-Kancherimalaipudhur bus arrives at the village at 6.30 am, far too early for students attending school at 9 am. “Students wait for over an hour and a half before school opens, often eating their packed breakfast while they wait.
