ITANAGAR, Sep 18: The State unit of Private Schools and Children Welfare Association (PSCWA) has urged the State Govt to check the mushrooming of private schools and close down all the illegally run private schools “where schools are not fit to run”.
Addressing a press conference here today, PSCWA advisor J Riba said, “PSCWA is encouraging the coming of good schools in the state for quality education but we are strongly against mushrooming of private schools in every nook and corner of the state without any basic infrastructure and not fulfilling the government’s guidelines which are not fit to run.”
According to CBSE norms there are lots terms and conditions to establish a school like, proper school campus, building, playground, infrastructure, etc he said and added, but many of the private schools are not following the guidelines and randomly opening schools.
The Association requested the authority concerned to check mushrooming of such schools and take action against those schools.
Riba also informed that in recently held PSCWA meeting, the Association took some “strict” resolutions like the one that if a private teacher intends to join another school, he or she has to obtain ‘no objection certificate’ from his/her previous school. He reasoned that many private school teachers leave their job and join other schools without properly informing their school authority during mid-session of classes leaving the students to suffer. Another resolution was that the private schools will have to conduct games and sports and literature competitions among students at the state level.
