Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala government has decided to provide aided status to special schools for differently-abled students run by private institutions. Talking to reporters after a cabinet meeting here, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said initially the aided status would be given to those schools where there are more than 100 students.
Government has fixed 1:8 as teacher-student ratio in these schools. It has also been decided in principle to extend similar status to those schools which have 50 students in next three months after getting a report on the matter, he said. There are a total of 278 special schools in the state and out of this 277 are in private sector and while one such school is run by a panchayat.
"These schools should not collect fees from students", he said, adding the government has prescribed guidelines and facilities that are required in these schools.
