"A circular has been issued to all the institution heads, advising teachers to be dressed in a manner 'appropriate to their profession'," he added. The CEO observed that teachers dressed in jeans, T-shirts, eight-pocket or four-pocket pants and flip-flops, which do not look professional and hence, were advised to wear proper dresses."Wearing of glamorous dresses by teachers hamper students concentration and teachers wearing glittering dresses would definitely influence the minds of adolescent students," said the CEO. He, however, also said that headmasters have been asked to ensure that teachers do not carry mobile phones into the classrooms."In a 50-minute class, teachers most of the time remain busy on their mobile phones, which is not professional," he said.Mr Singh also rued that teachers were busy using social sites during school timings and asked them to keep their cellphones either switched off or on silent mode. |
