No impact of pvt school strike in Bhopal

Friday, 31 January 2025 | Staff Reporter | BHOPAL

No impact from the private school strike was seen in Bhopal on Thursday, as schools in the city remained open.

However, the protest organised by the MP Board Private School Association affected regular classes in several other districts.

The strike was called in opposition to the state government's new recognition rules, particularly the requirement for a registered rent agreement for school recognition and a Rs 40,000 security deposit. These new rules have drawn strong criticism from school operators.

In rural areas surrounding the city, the strike had some effect, with private schools closing down. The protestors argue that these complicated regulations are especially burdensome for small schools, particularly those operating in rented buildings. This has sparked widespread concern.

School operators in Vidisha resorted to symbolic protests, with several shaving their heads to express their frustration. The protests in other districts involved school operators submitting memorandums to local officials, demanding amendments to the new rules.
