A necessary evil that is a law unto itself
School vans have become an integral part of attending school itself, but unfortunately, most fail to live up to their responsibilities.
The Education Times caught on camera the ordeal faced by students as they wait for their school vans and buses, sometimes as long as an hour, to be picked up from and dropped off at home, after a exhausting day at school.
Speaking to us, some students said that they find it very difficult, as drivers stop in the middle of the road for students to get in. We also saw some students lose their balance while getting into the van, as the driver kept urging them to hurry.
The condition and facilities of certain school vans and buses are as bad as their timing. Students complain that they are made to go in vehicles with broken seats and that, sometimes the seats are badly padded, so that their backs hurt after the ride.
