TN School Halts Admissions Due to High Demand
A government school in Tamil Nadu is so popular that it has stopped accepting new students for its youngest classes.
The school, which was struggling with low numbers a few years ago, has made improvements like building smart classrooms and offering extracurricular activities.
Thanks to these efforts, and with help from the alumni and community, the school now has a lot of students, with many coming from nearby towns and villages.
The school is asking for more teachers and classrooms to handle the growing number of students.
Panchayat Union Middle School in Chinnaveerampatti halted LKG and UKG admissions due to high demand.
The school had 160 students in 2012, but now has over 700 students.
LKG and UKG classes were introduced in 2015, with parent support.
The school has smart classrooms, annual events, and extracurricular activities.
The school constructed new classrooms and seeks more teachers and infrastructure funds.
