While, the Euro School principal has given its official statement regarding the incident in which it is stated that, “”EuroSchool Undri issued leaving certificates only at the end of the academic year.

We have not received any derecognition notice from the Department of Education. We have received a query from the department against which we have submitted all supporting documents. We are a law-abiding institution and will continue to stay committed to delivering uninterrupted learning to our students.”
