Students cannot be thrown out of government school, the Delhi High Court said as it was hearing a plea seeking the directions for the government schools to grant admissions to the 42,503 children, who had failed the class 10th CBSE board exams 2018.
The application in this regard was filed by the NGO Social Jurist. The court asked the authorities how could throw the students out of the schools and where will they go.
Advocate Ashok Agarwal, appearing for the NGO, claimed that by refusing admissions to the 42,503 students who had flunked their class 10th CBSE 2018 board exams, the Delhi’s government schools are violating Delhi School Education Rules.
The plea alleged that instead of granting such students admissions in the same class, the school authorities forced them to take the ‘transfer certificates’ and asked them to opt for the National Institute of Open Schooling instead.
According to the reports, nearly, 1.36 lakh students appeared for the class 10th exam from the government schools of which 94,160 passed and 42,503 failed. The students appeared in the compartment exams but failed there too.
Agarwal said he had sent a legal notice to the school authorities and a copy of the same to the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, but readmission was not given to the students.
