Out on a street in an Indian village, half a dozen children gather around their teacher who points a stick at the diagrams on a wall, one of many murals in the neighbourhood being used to help poor students keep up with their education during the coronavirus pandemic.
With schools shut since March in a virus lockdown, teachers in Nilamnagar, western India, became concerned that some youngsters would fall behind because their families cannot afford an internet subscription for online classes, according to AFP.
So they came up with a workaround -- children like playing on the streets, so they would take their lessons outside.
The outdoor classrooms for a total of 1,700 students aged between six and 16 have been a hit.
