Rajasthan to remove male teachers below 50 from girls’ schools

Op India  

In a bizarre diktat, the Rajasthan education minister Govind Singh Dotasara has said that the government will remove male teachers below the age of 50 from all the girls’ schools in the state. According to a report, the minister said that the preference will be given to female teachers to teach girl students in all-girls schools. After severe criticisms, the minister has taken a U-turn saying that the Rajasthan government is only concerned about the female student’s safety and do not intend to sack male teachers below the age of 50 from the girl’s school in the state, as previously announced by him.
