800 students for Babar Ali, the youngest headmaster in the world

Around the world , it’s not easy getting a proper education, because families are too poor. In India, a 16-year-old school boy, Babar Ali shares his knowledge.
He's in charge of teaching 800 students in his family's backyard, where he runs classes for poor children from his village.

Babar Ali's day starts early. He works at home then jumps on an auto-rickshaw for 6 miles ride to school. The last long mile, he has to walk.

This school is the best in this part of West Bengal. Babar Ali is the first member of his family ever to get a proper education.

"It's not easy for me to come to school because I live so far away," he says, "but the teachers are good and I love learning. And my parents believe I must get the best education possible that's why I am here."

This school is free, but Babar Ali has to pay for his uniform, his books and the rickshaw ride to get there. His family has to find around 1,800 rupees a year ($40, £25) to send him to school. It’s a lot of money for many poor families of this part of country. If it’s free, they cannot pay for extra school stuff.

Babar Ali was just nine when he began teaching a few friends as a game. They were all very keen on knowing what he had learnt in school every morning and he liked playing at being their teacher.

Without this school many children wouldn't get an education. Education can change the world and Babar Ali tries to give the best of himself.
