Attending educational institution.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Education is highly revered, and the first day of school is often celebrated with sweets. The legacy of social reformers like Savitribai Phule is often invoked when discussing the importance of 'going to school'. In villages, 'going to school' often involves long walks through fields. The 'Zilla Parishad' schools are the primary centers of learning and community life. There is a high pressure on children to excel. 'Going to school' is often followed by 'going to coaching classes' (ट्युशनला जाणे). Many famous Marathi books, like 'Shyamchi Aai', emphasize the moral and emotional aspects of a child's school life.

Saying 'Me Shala Jato' is a very common beginner mistake. Always add the '-t'!
