The Last Class

Green-Wood Public School, Talaq Mahal, Kanpur established in 1978 to provide education to poor kids who can not afford education anywhere else. I shot this documentary on March 12, 2020, right before schools were suspended in India due to covid19. The reason why I shot this documentary was that Education is the last priority in my locality. From the very beginning, profit was never the motive behind this profession. It isn’t even today. The real driving force is the passion to educate children in any way possible. This School operates in 2 shifts due to space constraints- 8:30 to 11:30 & 12:15 - 4:15. The fees of this School is 175/- Rupees per month for the last two years.
