Baitlotli JSS teachers decry bat infestation, dilapidated housing

It has been years since the teachers’ quarters at the school were maintained, resulting in the current situation where teachers occupy houses with falling ceilings, broken windows, rusty kitchen units, and cracked floor tiles, The Monitor learnt recently.

The houses also have a bat infestation. Teachers have since revealed that they have long pleaded with the school management to maintain their houses, a request that has been pending for years. They told this publication that the bat droppings, which give off a foul odour, have become a nightmare for teachers and their families, as they fear for their health living in a stinky environment.
