Though the school has been forced to adopt stricter security norms, it remains to be seen how many parents continue with the school.
Additional staff employed at the gates
To tighten security on school premises, Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh has directed Ryan International School to adopt multiple measures.
The erstwhile security staff members were suspended, and the school now has new guards. The school has taken on additional women staff for housekeeping and security of children. They were seen registering themselves for ID cards at the venue. Verification of staff has been carried out.
Fibre sheets are put up on the main gate to block the view of the premises from outside
"These measures should have been taken when the school was set up," said Sushma Sharma, a parent. "They take huge amounts of fees from us, and didn't care to run verification on guards. That is totally unacceptable!”
The school has also blocked the view of the main building from the gate by panelling fibre sheets on the gate. A metal detector has also been installed.
"Earlier we could easily enter school without ID cards also. Now, they have kept a register for parents to make entries and we have been provided new ID cards. This is only because of the deputy commissioner's instructions. This school was otherwise highly callous," lamented another parent.
However, even after heightened security it remains to be seen how many parents decide to continue with the school.
