Juvenile delinquents sail through
KATHMANDU: Child Reform School (CRS) run by the Child Reform Centre (CRC) in Sanothimi, Bhaktapur has achieved 100 percent result in the
School Leaving Certificate examination this year as well.
Three juvenile delinquents who appeared this year’s SLC exams staying at the CRC have passed with second division. According to CRS Principal Krishna Bhakta Wagle, four young offenders who were penalised appeared and passed the exams last year—two in the first and the other two in the second division.
In 2008, six students appeared
and passed the school-end examination. The school is being looked after by
nine teachers, three of whom previous CRS students.
“CRS students’ progress is commendable. Many juvenile delinquents to have long been staying at the CRC undergo changes in behavior and attitude, evidently reflected through this outcome of theirs,” said Wagle. “Children involved in murder and rhino poaching have passed the SLC exam.”
Wagle added the students who passed SLC this year have enthusiasm to study further. Though these young convicts are not allowed out of the centre, the CRC, at its own risk, has been sending the students to nearby Sanothimi Education Campus for further education.
“Acknowledging their improved behaviour and desire for study, we send them out at our own peril,” said Santosh Sharma, Legal Officer at the CRC.
“We have no funds to pay for their science or management study, hence the education faculty.”
