A Times of India fact‑check reports that many government schools in Rajasthan lack basic infrastructure such as roofs and toilets, and also suffer from teacher shortages.
The Times of India conducted a fact‑check on the condition of government schools across Rajasthan. The review found that a significant number of schools operate without permanent roofs, leaving classrooms exposed to weather. In addition, the survey highlighted the absence of functional toilet facilities in many institutions, raising concerns about hygiene and gender‑sensitive infrastructure. The lack of toilets also contravenes national guidelines for school sanitation. Perhaps most critically, the check revealed acute teacher shortages, with several schools reporting no permanent teaching staff for core subjects. Officials have been urged to address these gaps to meet the Right to Education standards.
