Bihar school segregates students on caste lines, inquiry ordered
India TV NewsA school in Bihar's Vaishali district has been accused of separating students based on their caste and religion. The government-run GA Plus 2 School in Lalganj has been segregating students into different sections and rooms based on their religions and caste, Bihar Education Minister Krishnandan Prasad Verma said, ordering an inquiry into the matter. It is against the law to divide students on the basis of their religion and caste in any school," Verma said. "There was no protest against it by parents and students," she said, adding "Till date no discrimination has been made in the school on the basis of caste or religious identity." Outside the school, however, all students cutting across religion and caste lines play together, arrive to school together and return home along with their schoolmates.
