Students in high schools across the country have been staging protests over the past week, demanding better conditions and more resources for their schools.

The demonstrations began after students voiced concerns about overcrowded classrooms, inadequate laboratory equipment, and a lack of basic supplies such as textbooks and stationery.

Organised by student unions and supported by parent groups, the protests have taken place in several schools, with students holding signs and holding brief assemblies to highlight their grievances.

School administrators and local education authorities have acknowledged the complaints and said they are reviewing the situation, though no specific actions have been announced yet.

Students continue to call for prompt improvements, hoping that their voices will lead to tangible changes in school infrastructure and learning resources.
