Primary school students clean toilets
R. Sundaram (Friday, Jun 10, 2005 )
ERODE: Ganapathypalayam Panchayat Primary School, 15 km here, has taken the concept of "dignity of labour" too far: Barefoot students have been ordered to clean the school toilets by the authorities.
Two students, studying in III and IV standards, were found cleaning the toilets on Thursday by District Collector D. Karthikeyan.
Nobody knows how long the practice has been going on. But it came to light by chance on the day the Collector came on a visit to the school.
Mr. Karthikeyan was in the village to inaugurate a district-level intensive motivation campaign for school children. Even as classes were going on, the two students were busy cleaning the school toilets. They admitted to the Collector that their teacher had deputed them to do the task. In fact, students took turns to clean the toilets and the classrooms, the Collector was told.
In a district that is striving to eradicate child labour in any form, children were being forced to clean toilets.
The school authorities later presented new stainless steel plates to students covered by the noon meal scheme.
