Great Expectations

Yubraj (headteacher), teaches the oldest children in the school  – class one. They are busy preparing for the next stage in their education.

Here, they are taking some formal tests (rather like SATs in the UK).

The children have been thinking about their futures and they have great expectations. Here, three members of the class reveal their ambitions.

Children attend the nursery class from the age of three. Almost as soon as they start school, they are taught to introduce themselves by saying: ‘namaste’ (greetings), my name is….I study in nursery ‘dhanyabad’ (thank-you).

Every day, the children enjoy lunch together. This is especially welcome after such a hard morning’s work.
