Students Get Govt to Change Timing so They can Work
By sachiv, Section News
Students of a government higher secondary school in Kotra-Sultanabad, a locality populated by labourers and daily-wagers, have succeeded in getting their school timing rescheduled to allow them to work and support the family. And they managed it with some help from the State Human Rights Commission.
More than 60 per cent of the students work as vendors, shop-assistants or do odd jobs, and the government school is the only one they can afford. But the 10.30 am-5 pm timing left the students unable to put in hours in the evening, when employers needed them most. They risked losing their jobs and the meagre income it brought them because they reported late. Last week, students got the State Human Rights Commission to intervene and the state government agreed to revise the timing to 8 am to 2.30 pm. In the process, the school became the first institution to use the provision of the People's Education Act, a Madhya Pradesh legislation (Source-Indian Express,23/12/06)
