Noida Schools Closed: 14 schools in Noida have received orders to shut their operations with immediate effect by the Gautam Buddh Nagar district administration today. The orders have been released after they were allegedly found to be running without any official recognition. A majority of these schools, which have students enrolled up to Class 12, are in villages of Noida, district inspector of schools (DIOS) Dharmveer Singh said.
He said a survey of schools was conducted by the Uttar Pradesh government in recent days to find out if any institutes were operating in violation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. Singh said as per the law, it is mandatory for any entity involved in imparting formal education to be recognised by state authorities.
"During the survey in the district, 14 such schools were found to be in violation of the law and today, an order has been issued for them to shut operations with immediate effect. They were found running classes illegally and without having any recognition from authorities," he told. "There have been serious lapses on the part of one school and I have issued directions to my department to ensure that an FIR is lodged against it by the police and legal action taken against it," Singh said.
