The Al-Farooq School, based in Malappuram, India, issues two different uniforms to its students based on their performance in the classroom. Parents are up in arms over the decision and even Childline has gotten involved as it is worried that children will be emotionally damaged by the alleged discrimination.

The Education Department has instructed a committee to look into the matter after it was reported by Mathrubhumi News. As a result, the school chairman announced that the ruling would be revoked and action would be taken against the school principal.
