HM of primary school suspended in Tirupattur

She was holding classes under a tree

The headmistress of the panchayat union primary school in Periakurumbartheru village was suspended for conducting class under a tree while using classrooms to dump building materials and broken furniture.

Officials said during the routine inspection on various developmental works in the Alangayam panchayat union, Tirupattur Collector Amar Kushwaha visited Periakurumbartheru village. While inspecting basic infrastructure works, he made a surprise visit to the nearby primary school, where he found around 35 students of Classes IV and V being taught under a tree inside the campus.

Headmistress G. Umamaheshwari claimed that it was due to the poor condition of the school building. The Collector inspected the classrooms and found that a few classrooms were locked. Upon opening, he found that it was filled with building materials and unused items like furniture.
