HC orders district-level panels to probe working of govt schools
Hindustan TimesAurangabad: The Bombay high court has directed committees at the district level to probe the functioning of government schools within their jurisdiction and file a comprehensive report before the court within 60 days. The committees must be chaired by the principal district judge and include the education officer at the zilla parishad as a member, the court said. The court found the suggestion of the amicus curiae, Rashmi Kulkarni, regarding the constitution of a committee in every district to probe the functioning of government schools justified. Committees must look into the functioning of all government schools within their jurisdiction, including those operated by the zilla parishad, municipal corporations, municipal councils and panchayat samitis.
