The Bihar government has issued new directives requiring 75% student attendance in schools and prohibiting the use of school premises for police housing.
The Bihar state government has introduced new administrative measures aimed at improving the quality of education and maintaining the sanctity of school campuses. A key directive mandates that schools must ensure a minimum attendance rate of 75% among students to maintain academic standards.
In a separate but related order, the administration has explicitly banned the use of school buildings and grounds for housing police personnel. This move is intended to prevent the diversion of educational infrastructure for non-academic purposes and to ensure that school resources are dedicated solely to teaching and learning activities.
These orders reflect the state's broader effort to streamline educational administration and protect institutional integrity. Schools in the state are expected to comply with these new regulations immediately to avoid administrative penalties.
The government emphasized that the 75% attendance rule is crucial for reducing dropout rates and ensuring consistent learning outcomes. By restricting the use of school premises for police housing, the state aims to preserve the educational environment and prevent any potential security or administrative conflicts within campuses.
