Some schools install flex banners outside their premises with names, pictures of students
IN violation of rules of the school education department, which prohibit declaration of students as toppers in Class X and XII public examination, several private schools across Tamil Nadu have started claiming their students to be state toppers. Some of them have installed flex banners outside their schools with names and pictures of students and have also stared placing advertisements in newspapers and TV channels.
Based on the recommendations of a high-level committee formed by the school education department, state government in 2017 decided to do away with releasing rank lists as it creates depression among students who fail or lose top ranks by just one or two marks.
