Bihar Govt Bans “Disco Dance” in Schools! Orders Dress Codes for Teaching, Non-Teaching Staff

Patna: The Bihar government through an order has stipulated dress codes for teaching and non-teaching staff at schools and has also barred them from indulging in “disco dances and other low-level activities” on the school premises, reported The Telegraph.

On Wednesday, the Bihar education department issued a letter to all district education officers that said, “It is being seen that teachers and non-teaching staff posted in the schools or educational institutions are coming to work in casual dresses like jeans and t-shirt against the office decorum. We have also come to know through the social media and other mediums about songs, DJ (music programmes), disco dances and other low-level activities being held in the school campuses.”

“In such circumstances, we are directing again that all teachers and non-teaching staff posted in the schools and educational institutions will come in formal dress during the class or office hours. Ensure the compliance of the directions,” the letter added.
