India. Some Details About Education and Ecology

That came to an end our first full day in India. After a long tour haverment- and informeyshn centers, we returned to our old comfortable haverment hotel. Oh, joy — to public services provided by the hotel, served and free Wi-Fi, which, however, refused to work in the room.

Therefore, taking with him laptops, we decided some fun flora and fauna lobby.

Once only life began to improve, 'Net — work, and Facebook — read how strongly we started to approach hoteliers asking to move in the room until 21:30. According to them, every day at this time to the hotel visited by the police — to check the passport regime.

On the one hand, perhaps this is true because Delhi is often the victim of attacks by terrorists because hotel owners are required to provide reports of all residents (in the large settlement you fill the form and hand over copies). With the second hand, later, none of the locals did not confirmed the increased attention servants of the law to persons in or on the street outside the hotel after 21:30 (generally, on the street at this time and do nothing, Delhi seemed to us not especially nocturnal city).

Personally, for myself, we decided that, most likely, hotel managers were waiting for a new group of tourists and we, of solidarity, these tourists could tell things were not quite in the plans of enterprising Indians.

Although it was a reality, but everyone makes his living as you can, so we decided not to interfere in the mystery of Indian business and pochymchykuvaly rest.

The next day started with moving to a new hotel, which we have found before. An interesting feature of this hotel was the tree that held through all three floors of the building:

I went to the roof:

Later it turned out that it did not Delhi strangeness and ordinary sight:

Delhi rightly be called a green city. Multimillion metropolis care fighting for every tree and bush, so do not be surprised that the tree here stovbychat from roofs, sidewalks and even the walls.

New homes are being built in India even very quickly, but many years of grow a tree — it will not huhry-muhry. So say the Indian sages…

Here follows a corridor of one of the maternity hospitals of Delhi, which is replenished every day and really rather big population of India:

By the way, my first lesson little Indians sent just 4 years.

If, for some reason, thought that in India there are problems with education, they have to disappoint you — in connection with the adoption of the National Education Policy (1986) the literacy rate rapidly increased. Now here you can find more likely illiterate people aged over 30, than the student. It should also be noted that attitudes to education in India is so serious that all citizens pay education tax of 3% of salary.

10

Schools are both public and private, for both boys and girls. Well and mixed well.

The academic year the Indians taking longer than we have — from July to May, with breaks for winter / summer holidays and throughout all public holidays. We can say that in school we visited in the midst of a real education.

Students get on learning in different ways: some own pace, someone — a school bus, and some — pedicabs or other public transport.

11

School uniforms are mandatory, its main goal — to erase the differences between children from different castes in the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi. However, if a child does not have the form (Sometimes it happens), the school no one cast out and no comments in the blog writes, poverty in Indian society — not shame. At intervals younger students, as well as children we have — and run rampant:

The tourists it seems that in India there is no traffic rules. In reality, it is not so. A little abstrahuvavshys, after day we began to notice some logical patterns and relationships hidden. For example — between the temperature of water in the ocean and those which return a machine that goes ahead. Or between weather and traffic light color — it's not that hard, really.

Some tourists may get lucky a little more than we and unexpectedly on their way from time to time traplyatymetsya crosswalk. We would not advise it move lazily, slowly and with dignity. According to our observations, the Indian traffic rules, crosswalk is precisely the sacred place where drivers experience rank and volume measured signals, pedestrians pass somehow not accepted.

If you happen to encounter a traffic light, you can forget about all the things you taught before, the main thing — to go beyond the stereotypical thinking:

21

After marking, the Indians can easily forget to build a sidewalk, so at the end of a pedestrian crossing, you may befall a small fence. Continue the movement will have already roadway or pushing through a variety of obstacles:

If there is paradise on earth for the Ukrainian road policemen, then it is beyond doubt in every way — the way of India. But Indian ministers wand and the whistle did not like about their European counterparts. It seems that the batons they use generally not accepted, and the car they stop using the skills, seen in films with Amitabh Bachchan.

The types of violations for which drivers are punished by a fine, we could not figure out the size baksheesh for the amicable resolution of the issue also remained a mystery for us.
