Today we took a visit to two schools - Agrani School and College, and the Government Laboratory High School. Both at which we took part in various classes, and got showed around the school.The students at the first school (an all girls school - aged 6 - 17) showed us a presentation that they had made, showing us the 'new Dhaka' which they wanted to create. They said that the present Dhaka has too many problems: there is too much pollution, a shortage of electricity (it has already cut out twice since being here), there isn't a good enough water supply, too much traffic - queueing and too many cars. They also said that there were slums on the outskirts, which they wanted to get rid of, they also wanted a much greener community, as at the moment it isn't exactly the greenest place on earth. These girls, who were fairly young, are already aware of the issues surrounding them, and it was a real insight into their way of life - that they are already aware of these issues.
