¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: Regarding K.S.F. Vidyalaya, our Coordinating Committee has repeatedly discussed serious issues. There are allegations of corporal punishment and grave human rights violations; students who pass the scholarship exam are allegedly not released or given leaving certificates. There is reportedly no qualified principal; former students have been recruited as teachers; the school does not properly report to the Zone. What action will the Ministry take to regulate and rectify injustices to students and parents?
