Proper education helps in improving food-production, settlements, health, social life and all other spheres of life. To meet the demand of the increasing population, more and more schools are required. More desks and benches, playgrounds and teachers are required.

Teachers are becoming over-loaded and too many students are sharing limited resources. Thus, the quality of education is going down. In addition, as a result of over-crowded classrooms, many children are not being able to get admissions into schools. Thus, they are being denied their fundamental right to education.
