The principal of a school in Bihar’s Vaishali area has come under the scrutiny of the Bihar government for allegedly segregating students on the basis of religion and caste.
According to the Hindustan Times report, government-run GA Higher Secondary School in Lalganj had been allegedly segregating Hindu and Muslim students into different sections, while there were separate classrooms for Dalits, OBCs and upper castes.
The attendance register for students were also separate as per religion and caste, according to the Hindustan Times.
However, school Principal Meena Kumari said such a segregation was made to ensure smooth working and implementation of different schemes, reported ANI.
Outside the school, however, the students play together, come to school together and return home along with everyone, reported the Hindustan Times.
