Bihar Teachers: No More Jeans, Only Formals!
31 Oct
Summary
- Bihar schools now mandate formal attire for all staff.
- Jeans and T-shirts are prohibited during working hours.
- Strict action promised for non-compliance with the new dress code.
In a move to enhance discipline, Bihar's government schools have mandated formal attire for all teachers and non-teaching staff. The directive, issued by the Education Department's Additional Chief Secretary C K Anil, strictly prohibits casual wear such as jeans and T-shirts during working hours.
District Education Officers have been instructed to ensure strict compliance statewide. The department emphasizes the need to maintain a dignified and learning-conducive atmosphere within school premises. This policy update also includes restrictions on inappropriate activities like DJ or disco events on campus.
However, the order does not ban traditional music education or cultural programs linked to the academic calendar. These activities can continue in a disciplined manner. This directive follows previous dress code measures and reflects a renewed administrative focus on discipline within Bihar's government schools.
