DEO Rohini enforces ban on sale of uniforms and shoes in Hyderabad schools
Hyderabad: The District Educational Officer (DEO) of Hyderabad, Rohini has released updated guidelines regarding the purchase of uniforms, shoes, and belts at private schools on Thursday. These guidelines focus on making sure that court orders are followed and that a non-commercial atmosphere is upheld in educational settings.
Sales are not allowed on school grounds
All Deputy Educational Officers and Deputy Inspectors of Schools in Hyderabad District are required to make sure that private school managements, including State, CBSE, and ICSE schools, do not sell uniforms, shoes, and belts on school grounds. This rule is a result of worries regarding business operations happening in schools.
As per the court mandates, all sales of books, notebooks, and stationery at school counters must follow a non-commercial approach with no profit or loss involved. This policy guarantees that students and their parents are not faced with extra expenses, and that schools are not involved in making money from necessary educational materials.
Supervision and adherence
Deputy Educational Officers have been directed to establish committees at the mandal level. These committees will regularly oversee private schools to guarantee adherence to the new guidelines. Any infractions need to be reported to the DEO for appropriate measures to be taken. This proactive strategy aims to uphold transparency and accountability in school activities.
The urgency of these instructions has been highlighted by the DEO. All Deputy Educational Officers and Deputy Inspectors of Schools need to act quickly and turn in their compliance reports to the DEO. This quick execution aims to quickly bring all private schools in line with the new regulations.
Collaboration with superior officials
Copies of the directive have been submitted to the Regional Joint Director of School Education, the Collector & District Magistrate of Hyderabad, and the Commissioner of School Education, Telangana State. This coordination ensures that all relevant authorities are informed and can support the enforcement of the new guidelines.
The revised instructions from the DEO Hyderabad reflect a commitment to maintaining a non-commercial educational environment. By prohibiting the sale of uniforms and regulating the sale of stationery, the DEO aims to protect the interests of students and parents. Compliance with these guidelines will be closely monitored, ensuring that private schools adhere to the principles of non-commercialism in their operations.
