The small space is set up to look like a classroom. On its corrugated iron walls are educational charts – letters of the alphabet and a map of Bangladesh. But, it is hard to concentrate – there is the constant sound of hammering and chemicals in the air that stick in the back of the throat and irritate the eyes. However, the children who learn in this three-square-meter room are the lucky ones. They have escaped working in the factories opposite.
Why are the people in the room lucky?
They do not work in factories nearby They no longer need to study in a three-square-meter room They are not exposed to harmful chemicals in the air Their parents can afford sending them to a private school
