Pune’s education officers have found 51 schools that are running without proper permission. These schools aren’t following the rules set by the government.
In Maharashtra state, there are about 800 such illegal schools, which is a big problem.
The officers think there might be even more illegal schools in Pune that they haven’t found yet. They believe the real number could be double what they know now. This means many students might be studying in schools that aren’t approved by the government.
The Maharashtra government has already closed 100 illegal schools in the state. They’re taking strict action to make sure students get good education. The remaining schools that are running illegally will either have to follow all rules or they’ll be shut down.
Education officers will check 1,300 schools before the next school year starts in 2025-2026. They’ll make sure these schools have good teachers, proper classrooms, and follow the right study materials that children should learn.
These illegal schools are bad for students because they often don’t have good teachers or proper classrooms. Many times, they don’t teach what students should actually learn according to their class level. This can harm students’ future.
The officers are working hard to find more such illegal schools. They want to make sure all schools in Pune and Maharashtra follow proper rules. This will help students get good education and have a better future.
The Pune Crime News investigation continues to uncover more unauthorized educational institutions across the city.
