The "Signal Shala", or traffic signal school, caters to dozens of children who have been left out of the formal education system.
Mumbai: Beneath a busy flyover in India's financial capital Mumbai, a row of pastel-coloured shipping containers houses an unlikely school serving some of the city's most marginalised children.Despite laws guaranteeing free schooling for children aged six to 14, poverty and migration continue to keep many out of classrooms, particularly in sprawling cities like Mumbai where many families survive through low-paying informal work.Crippling urban poverty also means young children selling knick-knacks on streets are still a fairly common sight at crowded traffic intersections in big Indian cities.But the non-profit that runs the free school is determined to educate its underprivileged cohort, many of whom come from homeless families that barely eke out a living.Wedged between gleaming skyscrapers and busy roads, the "Signal Shala", or traffic signal school, caters to several dozen children who have been left out of the formal education system, according to Bhatu Sawant, founder of the initiative."These children can't go to (a regular) school. So (I thought) let's do this. Let's bring the school to them," Sawant, 45, told AFP.Also read | Major change in buyer behaviour as e-scooters race deeper into BharatIndia runs one of the world's largest public school systems, but government data for 2024-25 still identified nearly 1.2 million children as "out of school", a catch-all categorisation that covers both those who have never been to school or dropped out.Free mealsFor Sawant, India's government-run schools are simply "not flexible enough for these children", while private ones charging exorbitant fees are out of the question.The signal school operates from repurposed air-conditioned containers placed on a narrow strip of land beneath a flyover, where classes and play unfold amid the constant rumble of traffic overhead.Its approach is tailored to the realities of street life.Every morning, the school bus drives through the cramped lanes of Mumbai's slums, picking up students -- a lifeline for parents who can't afford transportation.When the children file in, the first order of business is a shower, as many have no easy access to bathing facilities.Lockers are provided for books and uniforms that otherwise cannot be kept safe or clean while living in slums or on the streets.Three meals are provided free, with school hours longer than normal.Also read | Indian tourists go viral for all wrong reasons. Here's how not to become the next horror storyClasses are split by ability rather than age, with teachers adapting lessons for children who may never have held a pencil before.Older students are also taught basic skills like sitting still, speaking clearly and staying focused.The challenges are particularly acute when it comes to kids from the semi-nomadic Pardhi community, who often do not speak the local language."When the children came here, they didn't know what the days of the week were, what the 12 months were or what the seasons were," said teacher Tejasvi Borade, as the container walls rumbled from the steady stream of cars passing above.Robotics and AIFor the students, the school serves as a sanctuary from the harshness of the real world."I feel very happy seeing the school bus," said 12-year-old Pooja Pawar, whose parents take on odd jobs at construction sites."The school clothes feel nice. The breakfast is good... In school, we make cake... and dance."For others, it represents an opportunity long denied.Balaji Laxman, who once sold tissues at traffic lights to earn a few hundred rupees -- the equivalent of several US dollars -- a day, said the classrooms represent a chance to imagine a different future."I want to become a doctor," Laxman, 12, said with a shy smile.While the school steers many children towards vocational pathways, Sawant said the broader ambition is to ensure they are not left behind in a rapidly changing world."We have to prepare them for the 21st century," said Sawant, who has set up two similar schools on the outskirts of Mumbai which have robotics labs among other facilities."They should know robotics, AI, computers, 3D printing," said the educator who relies on private and corporate donations for funding, with the government helping with the infrastructure."Everything that elite class children are doing well in, they should know all of that."

KARACHI: Amid growing criticism over Karachi’s worsening infrastructure and traffic woes, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has stepped up personal oversight of key development projects, making his fifth consecutive Sunday visit to review progress on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Red Line and newly opened Shahrah-i-Bhutto while announcing June 15 to open Azeempura Flyover. During his visit to different sites, the CM ordered round-the-clock police patrolling, a ban on motorcycles and activation of the e-challan system on Shahrah-i-Bhutto. Accompanied by Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon, Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab, Commissioner of Karachi Hassan Naqvi, Additional IG Karachi Azad Khan, senior officials, the CM visited the BRT Red Line project and expressed satisfaction over the visible progress. The chief minister started his inspection from Dawood University roundabout and travelled up to Safoora Chowrangi. Orders activation of e-challan system on Shahrah-i-Bhutto; says Azeempura Flyover opening on June 15 During the visit, Transport Minister Sharjeel Memon and TransKarachi CEO Zubair Channa briefed the chief minister on the progress achieved on the BRT Red Line project from Numaish to Mosamiyat. Speaking on the occasion, CM Shah said the Red Line project was one of the most important urban transport initiatives for Karachi and directed all executing agencies and contractors to maintain momentum and ensure the timely completion of works. “We are personally monitoring the project every Sunday because Karachiites deserve a modern, efficient and environment-friendly transport system,” he said. Mr Shah directed contractors to increase manpower and machinery wherever required and instructed all utility agencies to coordinate closely with TransKarachi and FWO so that relocation work could be completed without causing unnecessary delays. The chief minister also stressed the need for better traffic management and public facilitation during construction activities. He directed officials to minimise inconvenience to commuters and ensure proper safety measures at all active work sites. He also visited Azeempura Flyover construction site and said that it would be opened on June 15. The CM was told that the flyover is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity from Azeempura to the Malir Halt-Korangi Road corridor, reducing pressure on Sharea Faisal and adjoining roads. The CM also visited Shahrah-i-Bhutto to review security and traffic management arrangements. He directed the Additional IG Karachi to establish police check posts at every interchange on Shahrah-i-Bhutto. Mr Shah further ordered the immediate activation of the e-challan system, implementation of 100km per hour speed limit and seat-belt laws and warned that wrong-way driving would not be tolerated.
