Row Erupts Over Religious Homework in Hyderabad School; Parents Demand Action
A controversy has erupted at a private school in Hyderabad's Saidabad area after parents alleged that Class 2 students were asked to learn and recite religious verses as part of their homework assignment.
According to the parents of one student studying at Success School, the child returned home and informed them that the religious verses had been assigned as homework and that students were also instructed to recite them in class. The allegation has triggered concern among parents, who questioned the appropriateness of introducing religious content in classroom activities for young children.
The parents subsequently approached the school management seeking an explanation over the reported assignment and demanded strict action against those responsible for the decision. They argued that educational institutions should maintain neutrality in matters of religion and ensure that students from all backgrounds feel equally represented and comfortable.
The incident has sparked debate on social media and among local residents over the role of religious content in schools and the need for clear guidelines on such matters. However, the school's version of events and its official response to the allegations are yet to be made public.
Authorities are expected to look into the matter if a formal complaint is lodged, while parents continue to seek clarity and accountability from the school management.
