Coimbatore: Online complaint box for students soon

Coimbatore: School education minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi on Sunday unveiled the plans to introduce an online version of ‘Manavar Manasu’ complaint box to help the student community raise their grievances and share their suggestions and feedback.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of a meeting with the schoolteachers at KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology at Arasur on the outskirts of the city, he said the DMK government had introduced the complaint boxes in the schools last year. “We are taking the complaints dropped in the boxes seriously and working on solutions. A similar complaint box will now be introduced for the teachers.”
He warned the students against bringing mobile phones to the schools and directed the teachers to seize the same if the students were to violate the diktat.
The minister, meanwhile, advised the parents not to compare their wards with other children. “Instead, the parents should encourage their wards to identify their special talents.”
Poyyamozhi said the education department was working on strengthening the science stream syllabus.
At the event, Kalviyalargal Sangamam, a teachers’ forum, urged the minister to regularize the jobs of 3,000 special teachers, who were teaching disabled students.
When the forum asked whether the government order that restructured several posts in the education department in 2018 would be revised, the minister said the same was awaiting approval from the chief minister.
