New (pointless, toothless) code of conduct for teachers
New code of conduct for India's teachers (UPI via Washington Times)
A new code of conduct for teachers includes not smoking, drinking, chewing pan or tobacco when in public.
The code also requires no teacher or non-teaching staff should engage in any private business and trade.
This sounds like a good idea in theory but will be nearly impossible to implement. Are students supposed to tell on teachers they see chewing pan outside of school? And the thing about no private business - what were they thinking? How will they control all the tuition classes that are run on the side? Are they going to increase the pay?
Just another 'feel-good' set of rules.
