Parents of SC/ST students of Hyderabad Public School (HPS) have alleged that their children are facing discrimination in the school. Addressing mediapersons in Hyderabad recently, HPS SC/ST Parents' Committee president M Samuel said there were 1,200 SC/ST students on both the campuses of the school — in Ramantapur and Begumpet. “Out of these 400 are boarders but they are not allowed to live in the boarding rooms on the school campuses. They are asked to live in special hostels provided by the social welfare department which are in slum areas," Samuel said. "The issue was raised in the assembly even in April and the school education minister held a meeting of all the concerned people. But we came to know that it was decided that SC/ST students should not be allowed to live inside the school premises," Samuel alleged.
