Students at a Government Primary School in Bebrada, area of Kulgam district in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir are being forced to attend classes under the open sky due to the lack of a proper school building. According to Kashmir Media Service, the harsh winter conditions are making it even more difficult for the 27 students, who are taught by two teachers, to focus on their studies.

Established in 1984, the school has long struggled with inadequate infrastructure. Initially operating in a rented mud building, the structure was deemed unsafe and dismantled by its owners. For the past two years, classes have been held in the courtyard of a local resident’s house. However, this makeshift arrangement provides no proper classrooms or facilities, such as washrooms, leaving the children with minimal basic amenities.
