Following the school reopening event, parents of the students' who were not admitted to the municipality girls higher secondary school as they scored below 400 in class X board examination, appealed to the MLA and officials to consider admission to those students too.
Further, parents of students who studied in English medium till class X in the same school, demanded them to find a solution to those students who could not be admitted to the same school as it did not have class XI and XII in English medium.
As there were no English medium government higher secondary schools in the entire town limit, parents either enrol their wards in a private schools or enrol them in English medium government schools outside the town limit or stop their education, the parents pointed out.
To address the issues and to add higher secondary English medium in the same school and to upgrade the Vallal Pari middle school to higher secondary school, students demanded the officials and Mr. Kadarbasha Muthuramalingam.
