Srinagar : Chief Education Officer (CEO) Iqbal Hussain has issued a stern warning to private schools in the Kulgam district, cautioning them against using school buildings and buses for tuition classes during the winter break. The warning comes after multiple complaints were received regarding violations of the prescribed guidelines by some private institutions.
CEO Hussain stressed that such activities during the winter break disrupt the intended purpose of the holidays and are a clear violation of the norms. He emphasized that the winter break is a time for students to rest and rejuvenate, and any misuse of school premises or transportation services for unauthorized purposes would be treated with utmost seriousness. “If any private school is found guilty of utilizing its facilities for tuition classes or other unauthorized activities, strict action will be taken, including the revocation of the school’s registration,” warned Hussain. The warning serves as a reminder to educational institutions to uphold the integrity of the winter holidays and ensure that students are given the opportunity to enjoy their well-deserved break. Hussain urged all school administrations to comply with the guidelines and refrain from any actions that would jeopardize students’ welfare during this time. The CEO’s directive underlines the government’s commitment to ensuring that students receive both quality education and the rest they are entitled to during the winter break
