DSE Jammu order regarding Purchase of books/stationary and uniform etc.

Director School Education Jammu official order regarding Purchase of books/stationary and uniform etc.

A number of complaints are pouring in from different quarters against the private schools regarding various issues viz purchase of text books/stationary items/school uniforms etc from a particular shop. In view of covid-19 pandemic almost every sector has suffered and under such circumstances, it is very tough for the parents to bear extra burden for purchase of books not prescribed by the Board to which the school is affiliated and uniform etc that too from a particular shop. Resorting to such illegal practices by the few private schools is against the ethics and norms / guidelines issued by the Government from time to time.

In this context, attention of the management of all private schools is invited towards the advisory issued by this office vide No. DSEJ/Pvt/10852-68 dated 19.05.2020 wherein it has been made amply clear that all schools shall notify through their websites the list of subjects and the books prescribed by the Board to which they are affiliated and no other subject or book shall be made mandatory.

Under no circumstances, any school shall ask parents to buy books from a particular book shop and no school shall prescribe or ask any parent to buy books for pre-primary classes (Nursery/LKG/UKG). The school shall send activity based learning modules of children of classes of 1st and 2nd for learning. . As the schools are already closed vide Government Order No. 19-JK (DMRRR) of 2021 dated 15.04.2021 and it has been ordered to provide the education through online platforms to the students so the question of asking students for buying & wearing uniform is illogical and irrelevant and must be desisted.

In view of the above, it is once again enjoined upon all the private schools to strictly adhere to the instructions conveyed vide No. DSEJ/Pvt/10852-68 dated 19.05.2020. Any violation in this regard shall be viewed seriously and action shall be initiated against schools which inter-alia include de-recognition of school. The CEO concerned shall regularly monitor through the committees already constituted vide order No. 450 DSEJ of 2020 dated 02.12.2020, taking on spot action against the defaulters under an intimation to this office.
