Hyderabad District Education Officer (DEO) R Rohini issued orders to private schools prohibiting them from selling uniforms, shoes, belts on school premises, including in State, ICSE, CBSE schools.
As per the guidelines specified in the order, the schools cannot make any profit from the sale of books, notebooks and stationary items in school premises, and must abide by the recent court order.
“As per court orders, the sale of books, note books, stationery at the school counter, if any, should be on a non-commercial, no-profit-no-loss basis,” the order read.
This move aims to regulate school commerce and to ensure parents are not overcharged for school supplies.
