Members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Coimbatore have petitioned the Coimbatore Collector seeking against the schools to be closed that came into being when M Karunakaran, was the Coimbatore Collector. It has been reported that a few schools are flouting rules and regulations and they have not obtained the required permissions for running the schools. The petition has also alleged that the schools charge exorbitant fee from the parents without providing proper infrastructure for the students.
The petition named 12 schools which are functioning without obtaining any permission and 39 schools which have failed to renew their respective (school’s) recognition.
The petitioners also state that an inspection should be conducted at all the schools to verify if the required permissions have been renewed, lab facilities are available and whether basic amenities like toilets, compound are available in the schools.
The schools should display the details of their recognition in the notice board so that parents are able to read them.
The petitioners also stated that No Objection Certificates (NOC) from Fire and Rescue Department, Thasildar and Health Department should not be provided to the schools that do not have government recognition.
Emergency exits should be provided for the students to escape from the school, in case of an emergency. When building additional classrooms required permissions should be obtained for the construction of the same.
Girl students should be provided with decent uniforms. Action must be taken against students who bunk classes and go to malls and cinema halls with their school uniforms. Students should not be allowed in such places and action should be taken against schools that fail to keep a tab on such incidents.
Action should also be taken on those schools which do not implement the right to education act, many schools only implement the act on paper and charge additional fee from the parents. Details of the schools that violate rules can be found out only when periodical inspections are conducted.
To bring transparency in the admission process, to identify the implementations of Right to Education act, the schools should provide applications with the serial numbers and a team should be formed to monitor the implementation of the scheme in the schools during admission.
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act' or 'Right to Education Act also known as RTE', is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted on 4 August 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India
Lastly, the petitioners also stated that CCTV cameras should be installed in all educational institutions. Along with the petition the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has also enclosed the list of schools which are operated without obtaining the required permissions.
