November 15 , 2024 14 hrs 0 min 25 0
  • Tamil Nadu government has appointed special officers to oversee administration of affected schools, ensuring closer supervision and accountability.
  • A new Student Safeguarding Advisory Committee (SSAC) has been ordered to be established in every school across the State.
  • The SSAC will meet monthly to address concerns or complaints related to student welfare.
  • The School Education Department placing toll-free helpline numbers — 14417 and 1098 — on the back covers of textbooks is one among the various key initiatives.
  • These numbers will help students to anonymously report incidents of sexual harassment or other unsafe activities.
  • Schools are also instructed to install complaint boxes — labelled as Maanavar Manasu — where students can submit their grievances in a confidential manner.
