Khandwa: Students in Class 6 at a private school in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, were obliged to put the full name of Bollywood pair Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan's son on a question paper, resulting in a public warning from the education department.
School administrators, on the other hand, suggested that the inquiry should be viewed as an attempt to broaden pupils' understanding.
"Write the whole name of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan's son," the general knowledge examination for Academic Heights Public School's term-end exam-II for Class 6 pupils in Khandwa city requested on Thursday.
While the local parents-teachers organisation protested, a copy of the question paper was circulated on various social media platforms by a number of internet users. Sanjeev Bhalerao, the district education officer, told reporters on Friday that the problem had been brought to his attention and that the department will issue a show-cause notice to the school.
"After receiving a response from the school, more action will be taken in accordance with the higher authorities' directions," he continued. Bhalerao thinks that in the national interest, pupils should be provided an education that broadens their knowledge.
Anis Arjhare, a city-based parents-teachers organization's office-bearer, complained, arguing that students should be given questions on notable people and national heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Ahilyabai Holkar.
He demanded that the school be harshly penalised. According to Shweta Jain, the institution's director, the test papers are generated by a Delhi-based organisation with whom the school is affiliated.
"So far, none of the school's parents has filed a complaint," she stated, claiming that those opposing are not the parents of her students. Jain went on to say that linking the problem with religion or communalism was inaccurate. "It should be seen as an effort to expand knowledge," she continued.
