Bar on fashion shows, cinematic dances too

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: : The Kerala Government has banned fashion shows, cinematic dances and mobile phones with camera facility in educational institutions in the State.

An official press note said here on Saturday that conventional art and cultural programmes could be organised with the approval of the ethics committee of the institutions.

The use of the mobile phone has been banned in schools and higher secondary schools. The teachers have also been disallowed from taking mobile phones to classes. In the institutions of higher education, the mobile phones should be switched off in class rooms and within the campuses.

The Government has empowered the heads of the institutions and the ethics committees to take exemplary action against students and teachers who violate the ban. The head of the department will have the authority to cancel the recognition and take action against the authorities of institutions which do not enforce the Government order. The ethics committees will supervise the enforcement of the order and send the monthly report on the tenth of the following month to the State-level committee. The State committee should submit the consolidated report to the Education Minister on the 15th of the month.
