He said that the education department had evolved a new policy to improve the performance of public schools and the implementation of the policy had begun with the issuance of show cause notices.

He further revealed that all DOs, Deputy Dos and AEOs had been issued instruction to carry out surprise visits to educational institutions daily and submit their reports on basis of attendance of students and teachers, security arrangements, cleanliness and dengue prevention measures. He declared that the transfers would only be made in light of Transfer Policy 2016 and no pressure would be accepted in this regard.
