Jalandhar, September 9
The Director General School Education (DGSE) has issued a deadline of October 10 to the DEO (Elementary) to submit a comprehensive report of the schools to be closed in the district owing to their failure to meet the RTE guidelines. As many as 49 schools in the district have been issued closure notices.

While the report sought by the DGSE also seeks a report of measures taken to ensure alternative options for the students who have been left out-of-school due to the closure of these schools, the education department has been caught snoozing.

While 41 schools were issued closure notices as early as April, the total number of schools issued closure notices is now 49 and out of these, 18 have already stopped functioning.
