Class X students of ZP Girls' High School in Bayyaram staged a dharna demanding the appointment of a social teacher, citing fears of failing upcoming board exams. Despite repeated appeals, no action has been taken.
With the State government declaring half-day schools, the second Saturday holiday has been cancelled. Students from Classes I to IX will appear for their Summative Assessment - II exams. On Saturday, Classes I to V will take their English exam, while students of Classes VI and VII will write their Social Studies paper.
