Directive on mother tongue of school heads
The Hindu
HMs of Tamil, Kannada schools should have that language as mother tongue
The mother tongue of headmasters or headmistresses appointed to Tamil or Kannada-medium schools in the State should be the medium of instruction of these schools, the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has said.
A single bench of commission member Reny Antony was acting on a petition by Joby K. Thomas, president of the parent-teacher association of Government Lower Primary School, Vellathooval, Adimali, Idukki.
As per the complaint, Tamil teachers appointed to Malayalam medium schools in Idukki and other districts directly or through transfer were not able to teach students or peruse other teachers’ notes. Only those proficient in Malayalam should be appointed as heads of Malayalam-medium schools.
