The government guidelines that bars teachers of both government and private educational institutions from getting involved in coaching business has been declared legal by the High Court (HC).
The HC bench of justices Sheikh Hassan Arif and Razik-Al-Jalil announced the verdict on Thursday (Feb 7) after hearing five separate writ petitions on the matter.
On Jan 27, the court fixed Feb 7 for passing its judgment after hearing the writ petitions and rule issued earlier in this regard.
Following the court order, no teacher can directly be involved with any coaching centre operating commercially.
The government prepared the ‘Guidelines-2012 to stop teachers from doing coaching business in educational institutes’ on Jun 20, 2012.
It allows a teacher to teach a maximum of 10 students of other institutions a day with prior permission from the head of their institutions.
The guidelines prevent teachers from doing private tuition during school hours.
