School asked to remove negative remark from certificate

Mumbai: The Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights asked a Chembur school to issue an appropriate school leaving certificate instead of the one issued earlier with a negative remark.
The Commission on Friday, while hearing the case of the 16-year-old child of Ryan International School, Chembur, asked the authorities to remove the remark of ‘problematic child’ which was mentioned as the reason for leaving the school.Secretary of the commission, A N Tripathi said, “It was inappropriate on the school’s part to write such a remark. The school has agreed to it and is going to issue a new school leaving certificate for the child.” The commission also gave time to the school to respond to the remaining complaints ot the parent until the next hearing. The parents have been fighting the case in the commission since a corporal punishment incident in October 2015.
The parents have requested the commission to recommend police investigation in harassment case that their son was subjected to in the school. “We will move the school tribunal and also go for a private complaint against the school after the commission’s judgement,” said the father. The boy already has secured admission in an Airoli school.
