T-stir hits corporate schools hard

Posted On: 26/09/2011 Updated On:

Corporate schools in the Telangana region that have been closed since September 13 on account of the ongoing strike for statehood, have told parents to collect the quarterly exam question papers from the school and conduct exams for their children in their own homes! A majority of corporate schools in the region are owned by managements belonging to the Seemandhra region. These schools, which have been shut down from September 13, fearing attacks from T-activists, will be opened only after the Dasara vacation, on October 10.

Parents were taken by surprise when they started receiving SMSes on their mobile phones from the schools asking them to collect the question papers and conduct the exams themselves.

Mr M. Manik, a parent said, “The corporate schools are giving question papers to parents for students from Classes VII to X since these schools start the foundation course for various competitive exams from this stage. The teachers told us that periodic exams are necessary for these students from this stage if they want to succeed in competitive exams after Class XII.“ Though some corporate schools in the city tried to conduct the exams in the morning from 7 am to 10 am, before the T-activists take to the streets and force a shutdown, they dropped the idea after a few schools were attacked.

One school that tried to hold exams on Sunday was forcibly shut down.

Corporate schools located in the north Telangana in Nizamabad, Warangal and Karimnagar are the worst hit as they have lost
the most number of working days on account of the agitations.

To appease the Telangana lobby, corporate schools have even prefixed the word Telangana to their name boards but this has not helped.

Other prominent schools
in the city have uploaded question papers on their websites and asked students to download them and write the exams at home in the presence of their parents. Parents were asked to submit the answer sheets to the schools.
