Port Blair: The Andaman and Nicobar Administration today announced that
a clearance from the island s education department will be mandatory to
run any private school in the union territory.

In an official release, the Education Department directed all the
schools, which were yet to obtain permission, to do so by furnishing
required information. The department also observed that a number of
private schools were already functioning in various parts of the island
without obtaining permission from the administration, the official
release noted.

Private schools were mushrooming in every corner of these islands
ignoring the already existing rules. It has been observed that the
directorate was even not having the exact details of many schools like
location, recognition status, classes run, medium of instruction,
enrolment and management.

In last few years more than 20 private schools have come up in and
around the city with people complaining against the schools, as they did
not follow the rules of the government.
