The Haryana Government on Thursday issued fresh set of guidelines to ensure that teachers working in State-run schools do not take their mobile phones to the classrooms, except if it is required as an academic aide.
Should a teacher feel the need to use mobile phone as an academic aide, the teacher will still have to take prior permission for carrying it inside the classroom, as per the guidelines which came into force with immediate effect.
"And if a teacher happens to head the institution, they will have to take care that neither they nor other teachers indulge in this fancy as fresh guidelines have been issued by the Haryana Education Department in this regard," an official statement said on Thursday.
