A SIX-YEAR-OLD HIV-positive orphan has been barred from a primary school in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region after other children's parents petitioned against his admission, China Youth Daily reported today.
The boy, identified as A-Long, has led an isolated life, doing his own cooking and laundry, in Niucheping Village near Liuzhou City since he was diagnosed with HIV, soon after AIDS killed his father in July and took his mother away last March. The boy is shunned by others.
Relief from Liuzhou city government and public donations have met A-Long's basic needs. However, education became the latest problem for the boy who reached school age this year.
Before his status was revealed, A-Long was able to finish one term of pre-school class in Malushan Primary School. But the school denied his admission for grade one class in September, bowing to the pressure of about 200 worried parents.
Schoolmaster Chen Xiyou said they had reported to higher authorities but didn't receive a response. A mother, surnamed Huang, who signed the petition letter, said her kid could be easily infected by the fatal virus if in a fight with A-Long. Some parents vowed to transfer their kids to other schools to avoid risks.
