The government higher primary school at Malali village in Hosanagar taluk of Shivamogga district remains non-functional even though schools across Karnataka re-opened for classes after summer vacation on May 16. With no teachers posted to the school, the students returned home disappointed on May 16. The scene was no different on the second day, prompting the students and the parents to stage a protest.
Twelve students are enrolled in the school. Two more students had come to school seeking admission on May 17. But, there were no teachers to receive them.
Parents staged a dharna along with their children. They refused to leave until senior officials visit the spot and fulfill their demand.
