Children of Government servants should study only in Government schools – Allahabad High Court
The Allahabad High Court has issued
strict orders that the children of government employees should study
only at government schools.
A Public Interest Litigation was filed
at the Allahabad High Court stating that in Uttar Pradesh, led by its
Samajwadi party Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, the government-run
schools do not have sufficient teachers. The officials were not taking
any steps to improve the standard of education in these schools and
infrastructure was poor.
After hearing the arguments, Justice Sudhir Agarwal issued an order, excerpts of which are provided below:
All the government employees shall
enroll their children only at government-run schools. The rule is
applicable also to the representatives of the people, and the employees
of the justice department. The state government can impose penalties to
stop them from admitting their children to private schools.
The employees can be made to pay as
penalty the sum that they had paid as fees to the private schools. The
revenue thus generated can be added to the state exchequer. The Chief
Secretary of the state was given six months to submit a report on this
reform.
