‘Jeans, leggings, party wear… can’t be worn in school’, dress code for teachers in Assam

Assam Teachers New Dress Code: Assam government has issued a dress code for school teachers. While setting dress rules for teachers, the government said that some teachers have a habit of wearing clothes that do not seem acceptable in public. In the notification issued on Friday (May 19), it has been said that teachers should do teaching work in classes only by wearing soft colored formal clothes and they should not wear party clothes etc.

Sharing this order on Twitter on Saturday (May 20), Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu wrote that there are some misconceptions regarding the dress code prescribed for school teachers. I am sharing the notification for clarity regarding the dress code for school teachers. The notification states that it has been observed that some teachers have a habit of wearing clothes of their choice which sometimes do not seem acceptable in public.

“Teachers are expected to lead by example”

It further stated that since a teacher is expected to set an example of decency in all forms especially while discharging his/her duties, it has become necessary to follow a dress code which would ensure decorum, decorum at work place. Demonstrates decency, professionalism and seriousness of purpose.

As per the prescribed dress code rule, male teachers should wear formal clothes only, in which formal shirt-pants are the accepted dress. At the same time, female teachers should wear ‘salwar suit / saree / mekhela-chadar’ and not clothes like T-shirts, jeans and leggings.
