Commendable Quote
  Europe which has a total population of 800 million is made up of 45 language based nation states. South Asia which has a total population of one billion, (1000 million) is comprised of four states. Who is preventing and therefore benefiting by limiting new nation-states in South Asia?

Classes under trees and the rain

Visit any school in Vanni and its enrollment would have bulged in recent times taking in the IDP children. Many schools have started operating two shorter sessions to manage the bulging student size. Yet, many of the schools face shortage of classrooms and smaller classes are forced out to be conducted under trees.

When rain starts, the students attending classes under trees have a drill to follow. The books are collected into their school bags. The chairs are placed on the desks. The school bag goes on the students’ shoulder. Umbrellas are opened and the students stand under them two three per umbrella. They stand there and wait for the rain to stop so that they can restart the classes because all available shelters would already be used up for other classes.
