Delhi school dissolved the section separating the students along the religious lines
Section separating the children based on their religion was dissolved by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation primary boys school in Wazirabad on Thursday and sections which existed prior to segregation were resolved. The issue was first reported by the Indian Express. “In our preliminary investigation conducted on Wednesday, we had found that the teacher-in-charge (of the school) had been re-organizing the sections along these lines starting from August. On Thursday, these newly formed sections were dissolved, and the sections which existed prior to July 28 were restored,” said a senior official in the education department. The officials of the education department said that the investigating against the Sherawat has been handed to the vigilance department, which will submit a detailed report on the incident. According to the official, reshuffling in itself is not unwarranted but the manner in which it was conducted was unacceptable. “Following a drive by the corporation to increase the number of students, in June and July, the North MCD took in over 30,000 students in its primary schools. Given that each section should have about 40 students, reshuffling might have been necessary… However, the manner in which it took place in this school was shocking,” the official said. Councilor from the Timarpur and local resident associations also held the protest outside the school regarding the issue. “Sterner action than a suspension needs to be taken. The teacher’s tenure needs to be terminated and an FIR lodged against him. Also, the MCD cannot make this one person a scapegoat… The entire MCD establishment is (responsible)… and responsibility for this needs to be identified. Also, this is not a matter pertaining to just one school. An inspection must be conducted in all schools in Delhi to find out if such things are happening,” said Kaptan Singh Sangwan, husband of councilor Amar Lata Sangwan.
