Coimbatore: Following suicide from a class XII girl in the city, Minister of School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi said that a committee led by a female teacher will be established in all schools throughout the state to check complaints of sexual harassment.
Speaking with reporters after inaugurating a computer laboratory in the Kalapatti Government Middle School in the city on Monday, Poyyamozhi said that even though there were instructions standing that complaints box must be installed in all schools, students do not know how to use facilities.
“After all the schools continue in-class classes in full way, the awareness program will be made for students and they will be encouraged to utilize the complaints box.
Schools will also be instructed to form a committee chaired by a female teacher.
Students can approach the committee and register complaints about sexual harassment on campus, “he said.
The official announcement on the same thing will be carried out after November 19, he assured.
