Parents in Coimbatore protested against the closure of a matriculation school run by the Young Women’s Christian Association. The management announced the decision due to space issues and declining student numbers, with plans to assist students in finding new schools. The school, established in 1967, has seen enrollment drop from over 700 to 173 since the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents argue that the school offers quality education at affordable rates, making it hard to find alternatives. Following the protest, parents intend to petition the District Collector for intervention. The management cited reduced space due to a flyover project and limited facilities as contributing factors to the closure.
