The alleged discrimination over the admission of a 15-year-old HIV positive boy at a government school in Perambalur, has propelled the Director of School Education into action.
Director S Kanappan has sought a report on the denial of admission and directed the district Chief Education Officer to ensure that the student is allowed to join the school, reported The Times of India.
According to reports, Kumar* studied at this school till Class 8 but shifted to another government-run institution when his mother passed away. He, however, wanted to return to the first school and continue till the 10th standard.
