composed a letter to Adv. Nazeer Chaliyam, a member of KeSCPCR, to address a distressing incident involving my child, XXX, who recently appeared for the Grade 10 NIOS examination. The incident revolved around the school's Principal, Mr. [Principal's Name], and the NIOS observer, Mr. [Observer's Name], who refused to allow my child to enter the examination hall until he called me to explain his attire, which they considered "indecent." I articulated my concerns regarding the inappropriate questioning of a 15-year-old child's attire just minutes before a critical examination, especially when no rules or codes of conduct were violated. I also mentioned that the NIOS Regional Officer, Mr. [Regional Officer's Name], clarified the absence of a dress code but expressed expectations related to traditional attire. I highlighted the abuse of power by those responsible for safeguarding children's rights and education and emphasized the urgent need for training and sensitization for NIOS officers and school authorities. I expressed my hope for the authorities to take necessary action to prevent such incidents from happening to any child or parent in the future. The letter was written to address a significant issue that demanded immediate attention and resolution.
