13 July 2007: Can we move school, please?

Scores of children in an Indian village are asking to move school because it is giving them nightmares.

The school is located in a graveyard.

About 200 children study in the makeshift school, which was set up in the graveyard several years ago after local authorities refused to provide land for it. The nearest other school is at least four hours away.

Initially the children played happily among the graves, and even sat on tombstones to eat their lunch, but now many are complaining of nightmares and villagers are demanding proper premises.

Local authorities say they are aware of the problem and are looking into it.
