Haryana teachers set to bid adieu to jeans?
Wanting teachers to be role models for students, the Haryana government said that jeans cannot be worn, especially in the rural area.
Times of India quoted an order issued by director of state primary education RS Kharb as saying, "Usually, it is noticed that the teachers of government primary and middle schools come to the schools wearing jeans. They are similarly clad when they visit the directorate for any work, which is not appropriate."
Though the development have left many seeing red, the state justified that a proper dress code must be implemented.
Protesting the move, leaders of Haryana Vidyalaya Adhyapak Sangh are likely to meet state education minister Ram Bilas Sharma on the issue.
