 Bangalore: A government Urdu school which is situated in the Jamia Masjid campus Ilyasnagar, Bangalore South is a true example of discipline, creativity and hard work. The school which was started in the year 1982  by a well know visionary and social server the late N.Syed Umar is attracting a large number of students not only from Ilyasnagar and the surrounding areas but also from areas situated at a distance of over seven kilometers such as Avalahalli.

Headmistress Sirajunnisa Inspiring the Creativity of the students to Evolve

        The creativity of the students of this school is clearly visible when one visits the class rooms. Dozens of projects and charts adorn the classrooms in an artistic fashion. One painting by a child named Bilal gives a strong message condemning child labor and encouraging children to attend school. One more student, Nagina of seventh standard artistically makes a comparison between wealth and education with the painting of a balance scale.  Here she gives more importance to education rather than wealth. There are dozens of such paintings done by the students which not only exhibit their creativity but also give a powerful message for everybody.

Walls of the school put to the best possible use

The teachers of the school are innovative and come with new ideas that help the children to evolve. The teaching aids supplied by the education department too are systematically utilized for the betterment of the students.   Science exhibitions, art and craft exhibitions, training programmes for teachers are often held in this school.

Author, Educationist, Motivational Speaker and Environmentalist US Moinuddin who interacted with the school students said, “In India people underestimate government schools. We need to realise that many successful people such as Narayan Murthy, the founder of Infosys and former President of India, K.R.Narayanan too had studied in government schools.” The headmistress of the school Sirajunnisa said, “We have a group of committed and hardworking teachers who identify children that are not going to schools because of poor financial conditions of their parents. We request their parents to enroll them in our school so that their future is not ruined.” This school which is utilising every possible resource to give the best possible education to its students is a role model not only for other government schools but also to many private schools too.
