The Education Department of Andhra Pradesh will allow the students who failed the tenth-class examinations to attend regular classes in all schools in the State.
The decision has been taken as part of the measures to check child marriages, Andhra Pradesh State Council of Educational Research and Training (APSCERT) Director B. Pratap Reddy said. “Instructions have been issued to the headmasters of all schools to allow the tenth-class failed students to attend classes along with their regular counterparts,” he said.
Mr. Pratap Reddy, who took part in a State-level consultation on child marriages recently, said that teachers would play a key role in preventing marriage of minors.
