A school in Pakistan does not have any furniture, even though it was started over 80 years ago -- before the country was born.

The Government Boys’ Primary School near Chiniot town in Punjab province has three classrooms, none of which were completed. The school was started in 1929. Pakistan was created in 1947 with the partition of the sub-continent.

Dawn said that the rooms are without any windows and floor.

The school boasts of 150 children and just two teachers.
