Classrooms in toilets
A private school has transformed some of its toilets into classrooms for students of both genders because the school lacks certain basic requirements in terms of the building, classrooms, etc, reports Al-Rai daily. The school has more than 1,400 students but most of the students are suffering and some of them are often crying while some others refuse to attend school.
