Jamshedpur, March 22: Parents of students who failed in the 9th and 11th grades in private schools of Jamshedpur have been demanding promotion for their children. At DBMS English School in Kadma, parents protested against the management, urging for their children’s promotion akin to Rajendra Vidyalaya School’s policy. The school management proposed counseling for the failed students, but parents insisted that counseling should have been initiated earlier. Parents planned to meet the Dhalbhum SDO Parul Singh and Deputy Commissioner regarding the issue.

Meanwhile, parents of failed students from Kerala Samajam Model School met the SDO, alleging injustice by the school management. They claimed that failed students were unjustly treated, even barred from entering the canteen. They asserted that students receiving tuition from school teachers were promoted, while those who did not take such tuitions were failed. Parents demanded an investigation into these claims and sought action against the school management, alongside promotion for the failed students.

The Jamshedpur Abhibhavak Sangh (Parents’ Association) also met the Deputy Commissioner, urging for the promotion of failed students and a ban on private tuition by school teachers. They raised concerns over approximately 2,000 failed students in private schools and criticized the schools for placing blame solely on candidates and parents. The association demanded a ban on private tuition by teachers, qualifications for class-wise teachers, initiation of special classes for weak students, and regular revision tests. They also advocated the promotion of all failed students, akin to certain schools’ practices of promoting students with non-marks.
