Parents protest over omission of lessons in Kaup govt-aided school


Daijiworld Media Network – Kaup (JD)

Kaup, Sep 17: A controversy erupted at the Kaup Dandateertha government-aided school following allegations of deliberate omissions in the 7th-grade social studies syllabus, sparking a protest from concerned parents. The core issue is the alleged skipping of two chapters related to Hindu culture, which has intensified tensions between parents and the school administration.

The social studies teacher has been accused of intentionally excluding lessons on the Mysuru Kingdom, Tulu Nadu-Kodagu, and the contributions of Kabir Das and Kanaka Dasa. This has fuelled discontent among parents, with some Hindu organizations joining the protest.

The school's headmaster, Neelananda Nayak, has refuted these allegations, clarifying that the lessons were delayed due to monsoon holidays and would be covered after the mid-term break. "There are no plans to omit any chapters," the principal assured, adding that parents had visited the school seeking clarification. "We follow a monthly teaching plan, but the unexpected rains caused a seven-to-eight-day holiday, resulting in the delay," he explained.

As the parents held discussions with the school management, activists from Hindu organizations gathered at the school, demanding action against the teacher. They alleged that the omission of Hindu-related lessons was intentional and called for immediate corrective measures.

In a meeting with parents, the school administration reassured them that the chapters would be taught before the mid-term break. The principal emphasized that the delay was not intentional and that the entire syllabus would be completed as planned.
