School asks magistrate to certify pupils character

Updated on: Saturday, April 09, 2011

In a rude shock for parents of class ninth and tenth students days before the new academic session began on April 5, Andheri-based Prime Academy (ISCE) School sent a notice making it mandatory for the students to submit an undertaking of good behaviour sworn by their parents before a magistrate’s court.

The notice, from the director of the institution, warned that if the students came to school without the undertaking, they would not be registered for the academic year 2011-12. The school also issued a ‘letter of undertaking’ to be signed by the parents. It said parents “have read the rules and regulations of the school” and will be responsible for their ward’s actions. It added that parents should have “no objection to the school taking appropriate action against the student if she/ he do not follow its rules and regulations”.

“We have never heard of such a demand made by any school. We don’t understand what the school is trying to prove,” said a parent.
