Bangladesh: visiting Elton at school
Tuesday 15 March 2011 by Anika Rabbani
At the preschool, I meet five-year-old Elton. His three-year-old sister, Reddy, wanders nearby, seeming curious. Elton’s eyes gleam when asked about school – he says he loves it. His teacher, Geeta, says that he’s been a regular and keen student in his one year here. She has 17 children in her class, nine boys and eight girls, aged four to five.
