3 yrs after G.O, advisory panel in schools to curb sexual harassment non-functional
The New Indian Express|November 22, 2024

The G.O. was issued after the schools in the state became the focus of the #MeToo movement, especially after allegations of sexual harassment against a commerce teacher in PSBB School.

In a recent incident, a physical education teacher of a private school in Thoothukudi was accused of spiking soft drinks with alcohol to harass female students. Interestingly, the state government swiftly issued a statement highlighting 'proactive measures' such as the formation of Student Safeguarding Advisory Committees mandated by the 2021 G.O. However, headmasters of both government and private schools TNIE spoke to said these committees are nonfunctional.
