Ministry mediates dispute between parents, teachers at Rama Krishna school

A senior Ministry of Education official recently visited the Rama Krishna Primary School to resolve issues between the teachers and parents, after the latter staged a protest over the conditions at the institution.

A few weeks ago, parents had staged a picketing exercise outside of the school to air their grievances, which included the fact that children were unable to access their classrooms after arriving at school as they were greeted by locked doors.

According to a press release issued by the Education Ministry on Monday, as a result of the meeting the locks on the classroom doors were changed and copies of the keys were provided to both the class teachers and the headmistress. It was also noted that both a parent and teacher involved in a court case with each other agreed to discontinue their respective complaints and apologised to each other for their previous misunderstanding.
