Students go to Aminiyya School
Students from Aminiyya School has been barred from using the lifts in the new 8-storey building.
More than 2000 students are enrolled in Aminiyya School for the new academic year, which began on Sunday.
Only teachers are allowed to use the elevators.
Speaking to RaajjeMV, Principal Nazuleen Wafir said classes with special needs kids and primary grade students are on the bottom level.
Responding to whether the higher grade students might find it difficult to climb the stairs, the principal said that they were “big kids”, and that those students had also used the stairs in the old building.
She added that the lifts won’t be able to fit that many students at a time.
A parent told RaajjeMV that they were concerned it would become a burden for students to climb up with their backpacks. The parent added that carrying heavy weight up the 8-storey building could stunt the students’ growth.
