Students in class at the Government Girls High School, Venugopalapuram in Cuddalore...Cuddalore's Government Girls High School is under-resourced with some student forced to sit on the floor for want of a desk. Though most classrooms are housed in a building that is only two years old, there is little ventilation to lessen the effects Cuddalore's tropical heat. The school does offer extra "`bridge" classes for those students recently arrived from village schools but staff are frequently absent from the school...Photo: Tom Pietrasik.Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.
