Students and their parents staged a dharna at Hanuman Basthi Government Primary School at Patha Kothagudem here on Tuesday over the lack of teachers in the school. They said there were just two teachers available for 189 students, with the third teacher going on leave.
The parents complained that since there were not enough teachers for the 189 students in the school, the students were lagging behind in their studies. Irked at the shortage of teachers, the students boycotted classes and staged a flash protest along with their parents. SFI activists also joined the protest.
