Hyderabad: Students of Gowtham Model School staged a protest against the school authorities for conducting classes from 6.30 am to 7.30 pm. The students alleged that classes and tuitions are taking a toll on their health. The students staged the protest and assembled in front of the school on Saturday.
“Once we reach home we are asked to go for tuition by our parents. By the time we get back from there it is late in the night. Then again the next day, we have to get up by 5.30 am to reach the school at 6.30 am. We hardly get time to sleep,” said a secondary class student of Gowtham Model School in Chaitanyapuri.
When contacted, Mr Narasimharaju, principal of the school, said, “We are conducting classes from 7.30 am to 6.30 pm. We allot 30 mi-nute break from 12.45 pm. We make them do the homework within the school timings.” Conducting classes for such long hours is a clear violation of the rules, said HSPA joint secretary.
