14 Noida schools have been ordered to close due to a violation of the law

The Gautam Buddh Nagar district administration ordered 14 schools to close their doors with immediate effect on Wednesday after they were allegedly discovered to be operating without official authorization.

According to District Inspector of Schools (DIOS) Dharmveer Singh, the majority of these schools, which have students registered up to Class 12, are in Noida villages.

He stated that the Uttar Pradesh government recently conducted a school survey to see whether any institutes were operating in contravention of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009.

According to Singh, any entity participating in formal education must be recognized by state authorities under the law. "During the district survey, 14 such schools were discovered to be in violation of the law, and today, an order was issued for them to cease operations with immediate effect." "They were discovered running classes illegally and without any official recognition," he told PTI.

"There have been serious lapses on the part of one school and I have issued directions to my department to ensure that a FIR is lodged against it by the police and legal action taken against it," Singh said in a statement.

The officer threatened educational institutions that broke the law with harsh punishment. The department reports that seven of these schools are in Harola, four in Jalpura, and one each in Shahdara, Mangrauli, and Chhijarsi. These schools have an average of 150 pupils enrolled. According to officials, there are about 2,000 recognized schools in the Gautam Buddh Nagar area, including those connected with the CBSE, ICSE, and Uttar Pradesh Boards.
