Coimbatore: The District education department has issued a circular warning against the inappropriate function of private schools in the Coimbatore district.

The circular pointed out that schools waiting for the renewal of their licence should file the documents as per government norms as soon as possible. In case of failure, measures will be initiated for the immediate closure of the identified schools.

It was stated that a few primary schools are functional without the renewal of formal documentation across the district.

It mentioned that a space of 5.5 cents of land and 16.5 cents of land must be documented under the school's name for a period of 15 years for Playschools and Primary schools respectively. Teachers with an applicable educational qualification that includes Montessori training must be employed.
