Teachers protested
Along with this, it has been clarified that this rule will be applicable not only to the teachers of government schools but also to the teachers of private schools. However, teachers have opposed this.

The teacher said that what not to wear is a personal matter and a local prerogative. Teachers are already aware of this. In fact, the government has also clarified that the dress code has been framed keeping in mind that the dress of the teachers should not have an adverse effect on the students.
