Norms by the Maharashtra Government

New norms decided by the Maharashtra government:
1. The state education department in a few months will 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.
2. The rules include teaching Marathi in primary classes and adhering to the fee structure prescribed by the state regulatory authority.
3. Any school that does not toe the line will not get a No Objection Certificate from the government.
4. 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.
