It seeks amendment of guidelines to accommodate adopted kids
The Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has directed that guidelines for admission to Kendriya Vidyalaya be amended to ensure priority for a foster child if the foster parents are eligible to claim admission under the State government-employee category. The commission, comprising chairperson Manoj Kumar K.V. and members Fr. Philip Parakatt P.V. and K. Nazeer, also directed the Secretary of the Department of School Education and Literacy to issue an order treating a foster child equal to a biological one in the matter of admission to Kendriya Vidyalaya. It was acting on a petition from a State government employee seeking the commission’s intervention to secure admission for her foster child in the school that her biological children studied in.
