Entry of YouTubers, other outsiders prohibited to council schools in UP's Ballia
The administration has already nominated departmental and other district officials to inspect council schools, who monitor the schools from time to time.
In the Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh, the basic shiksha adhikari (BSA) has implemented a new regulation prohibiting the entry of outsiders, including YouTubers, into all basic education council-run primary and upper primary schools. This decision was announced on August 7 and has since gained significant traction on social media platforms.
The primary concern behind this order is the disruption of teaching and learning activities caused by unauthorized individuals capturing photos and videos of the schools and their staff members. This unauthorized activity not only affects the educational process but also compromises the dignity of teachers and tarnishes the reputation of the department.
The BSA has appointed departmental and other district officials to regularly inspect the council schools to ensure compliance with the new regulation. The order explicitly states that no outsider, including YouTubers or social media personalities, will be allowed to enter the parishad's (council's) schools and capture images or videos without the explicit permission of the undersigned or the competent authority.
The missive has been sent to all headmasters and principals of the schools in the Ballia district to ensure adherence to the new rule. After reaching out to the BSA, it was found that the officer was unresponsive and unavailable for further comment on the matter.
