New Delhi: At least 17 girl students of a government school in North East Delhi face rustication after they allegedly attacked their principal accusing her of of failing them "deliberately" in supplementary examinations of class IX and XI.
The incident took place in the Government Girls' Senior Secondary School (GGSSS) in Yamuna Vihar on Tuesday when some students of class IX and XI and their parents allegedly held Principal Kanchan Jain hostage and damaged school property.
They had accused Jain of "deliberately" failing 90 per cent of the students in the two classes in the supplementary examination.
"We have identified 17 students through the help of CCTV footage who were involved in stone pelting and they will be rusticated. We will also file FIRs against the parents who attacked the principal," the official said, adding, the school authorities are in discussion with the Directorate of Education (DoE) over the issue.
Out of 817 students in class IX, 256 had passed in March while the rest reappeared for the exam, which saw only 31 of them clearing it.
"There is no detention policy till class VIII but the students have to pass the exams in class IX. While the subjects become more complex, the curriculum is vast. If they have some problems with the result they can always apply for re-evaluation or demand to see their answer sheets but this is no way to act," the official added.
