Srinagar, June 26: The Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) has issued a strong directive to all private educational institutions across the valley, stating that no student or teacher shall be compelled to attend school during the official summer vacation period.
"It has come to the notice of this Directorate that some private schools are asking the students and teachers to attend school during the ongoing summer vacation period on one or the other pretext. This practice is a serious violation of established norms and guidelines, and it undermines the very purpose of these essential breaks," reads an official circular issued by the department.
Therefore, in view of the above, all recognised private schools are hereby directed to ensure that no student or teacher shall be compelled to attend school or participate in any academic or extra-curricular activities during the officially declared summer vacation period, directive emphasized.
The circular further states, any deviation from these circular instructions shall be viewed seriously and invite action as per law on the subject.
