Student Suicide in Delhi Sparks Outrage | Study Reveals Caste Bias in Indian Schools | NEXT IAS

Описание: A tragic incident in Delhi has reignited a crucial national debate on safety, dignity, and equality in Indian classrooms. A 16-year-old student died by suicide after reportedly facing months of mental harassment from teachers—despite repeated complaints. While protests have led to suspensions, the issue goes deeper. A recent study by IIM Bangalore found that teachers in Bihar’s public schools judge students differently based on caste identity, often underestimating those from marginalized communities—even when their performance matches or exceeds others. These cases expose a critical reality: India’s schools are not always safe, fair, or supportive learning spaces. Systemic reforms in teacher training, school accountability, and student protection are urgently needed to ensure classrooms become spaces of respect, emotional safety, and equal opportunity.
