The recent incident at the Government Senior Secondary School in Anni, where five teachers allegedly assaulted a student, has drawn strong criticism from the SFIO State Committee in Himachal Pradesh. SFIO believes that such incidents, especially within educational institutions, are deeply concerning as physical violence can never be justified and especially not against a student in a learning environment. According to SFIO, the relationship between students and educators in academic institutions should be based on mutual trust, as mandated by the Right to Education Act 2009, which emphasizes student-centered learning to ensure holistic development.
This incident underscores a lack of trust in school administrations and management, prompting students to resort to protests and media exposure to voice their concerns. Instead of taking decisive action against the accused teachers and school administrators, the school management is reportedly attempting to suppress the issue through press conferences, disregarding student grievances.
SFIO’s Himachal Pradesh State Committee has demanded a thorough investigation into the entire incident and stringent action against the accused teachers and school administration. They emphasize the need for accountability and student-centric policies to safeguard the rights and well-being of students in educational institutions.
