Delhi school under scanner for operating without recognition, may get shut down
Education minister Ashish Sood added that the government will "not compromise on safety, security and well-being of children."
The Delhi government is investigating a school for allegedly operating without proper recognition, potentially leading to its closure. The Education Minister, Ashish Sood, stated that officials are examining the school's documents to ensure compliance with the prescribed norms. If violations or non-compliance are found, strict action will be taken in accordance with the law, including the Right to Education Act.
The government prioritizes the safety and well-being of children, ensuring no school operates in violation of the law or norms. No immediate response was received from the school. Furthermore, the Delhi government has taken action to enhance child safety, responding to incidents of abuse involving a cab driver and a 16-year-old girl on a sleeper bus.
In another case, an impartial inquiry is underway following the death of a student at a school in East Vinod Nagar, with the teacher involved transferred for the investigation.
