Hyderabad Kids Kept Out Of School Over Transfer Certificate
In Hyderabad, two kids couldn't go to school for over two months.
Their old school wouldn't give them a paper called a transfer certificate until their mom paid all the fees.
The mom couldn't afford the fees anymore.
The kids tried to go to a new, cheaper school, but they needed the paper.
The mom asked for help from the government, and after a while, a special official helped out.
Finally, the old school said they'd give the paper, so the kids can go back to learning.
This happened because the schools needed the transfer certificate and the parents were unable to pay the full fee.
Two Hyderabad schoolchildren were kept out of school for over two months due to a transfer certificate (TC) issue.
The private school refused to release the TC without payment of pending fees, approximately ₹20,000.
The children's mother, Afroz Tabassum, sought admission in a government school but was denied without the TC.
Tabassum's family filed complaints with the education department and Prajavani, but action came only after the deputy DEO's intervention.
The private school agreed to release the TC after the deputy DEO spoke to them.
