VARANASI, Aug. 10 -- Ballia basic shiksha adhikari (BSA) Manish Kumar Singh has prohibited the entry of outsiders, including YouTubers, into all basic education council-run primary and upper primary schools of the district with immediate effect in order to ensure smooth functioning of teaching and learning activities in schools.

The government/administration has already nominated departmental and other district officials to inspect council schools, who monitor the schools from time to time, the order adds. "Based on the above, in order to ensure smooth functioning of teaching-learning activities in schools and to maintain the dignity of the teaching position, entry of all such outsiders into all council schools of Ballia district is prohibited with immediate effect," it says.
