A Class XI student of a government school in Pudukkottai was issued transfer certificate (TC) by the headmaster for regularly travelling on the footboard of buses while coming to school ignoring warnings. Though he has been reinstated after an inquiry by the Pudukkottai chief educational officer (CEO), the boy, along with his mother, will be attending counselling before joining the school.

The boy, who hails from a village near Avudaiyarkoil, takes TNSTC bus to reach the government higher secondary school at Athani.

According to the school authorities, he was regularly found travelling on the footboard of buses and had been warned many times. However, on Wednesday, when fellow classmates informed the headmaster about his footboard travel again, he summoned the boy and issued him a transfer certificate.

Following the incident, the boy and his mother petitioned the Pudukkottai district collector seeking his reinstatement. The complaint reached Pudukkottai chief educational officer R Vanaja who spoke to the boy and his mother and assured his reinstatement.

“Rustication was the last option that the HM had to take in this case,” said the CEO speaking to TOI. “The boy was not only found travelling on footboard but also indulging in mischievous activities troubling other students, especially girls in the class,” she said. “However, we have decided to reinstate him after giving counselling to him and his mother and to ensure that he joins classes,” she said.
