Entry of YouTubers, other outsiders prohibited to council schools in UP's Ballia

In an effort to maintain order and focus within educational institutions, the Ballia basic shiksha adhikari (BSA) has issued a directive prohibiting the entry of all outsiders, including YouTubers, into primary and upper primary schools run by the basic education council in the district. This immediate effect order aims to ensure the uninterrupted flow of teaching and learning activities.

The BSA, Manish Kumar Singh, stated that the presence of unauthorized individuals, particularly YouTubers, taking photos and videos within school premises has become a concern. This practice, according to the order, disrupts the educational process, undermines the dignity of the teaching profession, and tarnishes the image of the department. The directive emphasizes that departmental and district officials are already designated to conduct inspections and monitor the schools.

The order explicitly states that no outsider, YouTuber, or social media-associated individual will be permitted to enter council schools and engage in photography or videography without prior permission from the BSA or a competent authority. This measure is intended to safeguard the sanctity of the classroom and the professional standing of educators. The directive has been circulated to all headmasters and principals in Ballia district for strict compliance.
