Restore affiliation to school: parents

Staff Reporter

The future of 700 students at stake, they say

CHENNAI: Scores of parents gathered in front of Valluvar Kottam on Friday demanding withdrawal of disaffiliation for Adarsh Senior Secondary School in T. Nagar. They urged the Government to consider the future of 700 school students.

At the Parent's Teacher's Association-sponsored dharna on Friday, the demonstrators shouted slogans and demanded restoration of affiliation. The parents said their children had been studying from kindergarten and it was not correct to disaffiliate the school when students were nearing their board examinations.

"We got to know of the disaffiliation only from news reports. We should have been informed at least a few years in advance," said K.V. Ramamurthy, a parent. Many parents of students from standard IX and XII echoed the same sentiment.

"Few schools in T. Nagar offer the CBSE stream. In other schools, they demand donations. This is the only school that takes no donation," said the parent of a XII standard student.

Parents noted that the school offered Hindi as second language.
