Marathi expected to be made compusory in Maharastra schools

· The state education department in a few months is expected to introduce clauses in the no objection certificate (NOC), required for any non-SSC board school to function in the state, that will make it mandatory for these schools to follow certain rules.
· The rules include teaching Marathi in primary classes and adhering to the fee structure prescribed by the state regulatory authority.
· Any school that does not toe the line will not get a No Objection Certificate from the government.
· The state has not issued the NOC’s to new non-SSC schools so the rules will apply to any new non-SSC schools. For the existing 700 non-SSC schools the state will make it mandatory for them to renew their NOC this year.
