Around 31,214 government elementary and 6,177 government secondary schools across Tamil Nadu will soon install complaint boxes for students on campus as a part of the measures undertaken to ensure student protection and safety on campus.
Schools in each district will be given ₹1,000 each to set up the complaint box and an awareness flex board, which will explain the aspects of student safety and will prominently display the Education Department’s helpline number 14417. Funds to the tune of ₹61 lakh will be released for government secondary schools and ₹3.12 crore has been earmarked for elementary schools by the Samagra Shiksha.
Over the last month, the department has been raising awareness about the helpline, and has encouraged students to call in and register complaints or concerns if they face harassment or abuse on school campuses.
