New school becomes first in world to use old train carriages as classroom

A school has become the first in the world to build classrooms -- inside old TRAINS. Government Primary School Ashokapuram noticed student numbers were dropping, and suspected it was due to a lack of proper permanent buildings. They teamed up with a railway company and are now using two old train carriages deemed unfit for usage as classrooms. The brightly painted carriages were given a huge revamp and now have stairways, brightly painted exteriors, desks, fans, lights and colourful drawings on the walls.
