A survey by a Gurugram-based non-profit has shown how over-worked and prejudiced teachers, who do not have the requisite training in disciplining children, are nurturing an abusive environment in schools.

The non-profit has revealed the shocking plight of underprivileged children in government schools, where physical assault and verbal harassment are normalised in government schools. The survey is set to be released tomorrow, which will mark Universal Children's Day.
