The Etawah district in Uttar Pradesh witnessed notices being sent to 128 primary and junior high-schools for running the administration of the school without any proper acknowledgment or recognition of the State’s Basic Education Department.

According to the notices being sent, it instructed all unrecognized schools to shut down, failing which strict action will be taken against them. It was observed that over 6000 students were currently studying in those institutes.

Three teams have been formed by the district administration for keeping an eye on these schools and visit the institutes and ensure whether they have been closed or not by Monday.

“The process to identify schools running without recognition started around four months back. A team of basic education department visited each school of the district and checked its recognition. The team found 128 schools running without recognition from the Basic Education Department,” said officiating Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA), Etawah, Rajesh Chowdhary.

He added that the process of identifying these schools started recently and soon it was decided on Saturday to send notices for the shut down of schools.

Chief Development Officer, Etawah, R G Arya said that if schools do not follow the instructions by Monday, the notices will be posted on the walls of the schools.  “We would ensure that these unaffiliated schools are shut down,” said CDO.

“If the school authorities did not follow direction, then fines would be imposed on them. If needed, legal action would also be taken,” said CDO.

“Teams would also be meeting parents of the students studying in these schools and make arrangements for the admission of the students in nearby government-affiliated and government schools.”
Earlier this month, Bhadohi administration sent notices to 96 primary and junior high schools for shutting down due to their non-acknowledgment.
