Schools sans recognition to be punished

Minister for Primary Education D Manikya Vara Prasad on Friday asked the district educational authorities to take action against schools which start functioning without affiliation or recognition.

Vara Prasad pulled up the district educational authorities for not taking action against the schools without state government recognition.

He asked the school authorities to seek recognition before the academic year begins. He said the government will take

disciplinary action against the schools that work without recognition. He asked the parents to admit their wards in recognized schools.

The Minister told newsmen that Secondary grade teachers would be recruited before the schools reopen in June.

The government could not take a decision on reducing school fee structure due to litigation. The government will announce its decision on extending the last date for revaluation of Intermediate examination papers by the evening.
