Govt school starts online registration for admissions

Coimbatore: With inquiries pouring in for admissions, a government higher secondary school in the district has asked parents to register the details of their wards on its website.
While the state has not yet announced the plans to start admissions in schools, the school headmaster said they were now asking parents, who inquire about admissions, to register the details of their wards in a form on the school’s website. This, he said, was just a measure to reassure them and that they would start admissions only based on the state government direction.
G Ramesh, headmaster, Government Higher Secondary School, Othakkalmandapam, said several parents have been inquiring about admissions. “They are in a fix as the state has not yet said anything on admissions and school reopening. So, just as a means to psychologically reassure them that their wards would be admitted to the school, we have put up a registration form on our school’s website.”
All those who register and seek admission would be admitted to the school, he said. The school, which is supported well by its alumni, has facilities such as smart classrooms and an Atal Tinkering Lab. “Because of this, there are more admission inquiries. Last year, around 30 students from private schools had joined our school,” the headmaster said.
