Mobile Classrooms Present Many Advantages Pertinent To Education
One of the key responsibilities of any government in a country is to ensure that education is provided and is accessible to its citizens. This is a fundamental right and there can be no excuses for denying this privilege. After all, the making of a healthy nation and its continued prosperity hinges so much on acquisition of knowledge at the right time and age. It is therefore strange and incomprehensible that there can be a situation where some children are not able to study even though they want to just because there is no infrastructure available to house them. However, this does happen despite the best efforts of the government and educational institutions and there is an urgent need to create infrastructure in the form of mobile classrooms for the reasons are as under:
1) The number of students enrolling is often very high with the result existing classrooms cannot accommodate them. This has in the past led to situations where teachers are able to control students. Moreover, they are also not able to devote individual attention to many students who need it due to paucity of time and the fact that they have to meet the demands of so many other students in the same. Thus though the positive factor is increased numbers of students showing the inclination to acquire education, if they cannot be accommodated and have to be turned away, it is rather disturbing.
2) The fact that it is not easy to forecast the enrollments going forward given the fact that family movements are so unpredictable.
3) Funding problems with regard to new schools and therefore the chances of increase in capacity is going to be slim.
4) The number of enrollments is going to increase with more and more parents insisting on education for their children.
5) Lack of enough facilities currently to address requirements of students who would want to attend schools in double shifts or of those who would prefer to be present for the entire year.
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, mobile classrooms offer other advantages in that they can be moved whenever required and set up at the place desired due to their prefabrication. School authorities therefore do not have to get weighed down by the problem of lack of space and can go about their programs or activities with full freedom. Very often, lack of space inhibits them from carrying out programs that they feel would benefit students. The cost effectiveness of such structures is yet another major advantage.
The only aspect that needs to be taken care when introducing mobile classrooms is the quality of the material used. They have to be of high quality so that they are durable and are also easy to maintain over a period of time. That is because these structures can become long term structures if they are taken care of well enough and need not be discarded.
