Teachers upset over education dept.’s decision to implement dress code

Hindustan Times  

The state education department’s decision to implement a dress code for teachers hasn’t gone down well with them. Pune district president, Subhash More, declared that the All-Pune District Primary Teachers’ Union is against implementation of a dress code for teachers in Maharashtra. While the decision to implement a dress code for teachers may be good, delving too deep into elements such as style and colour is seen as objectionable. The state education department has decided to implement a dress code for teachers considering that students imitate their teachers and if teachers dress indecently or untidily, it has an indirect impact on the students’ personality.
