Summary:
At present, there is no policy to regulate the play/pre-schools in the state. “No playschool will be allowed to function without recognition from the School Education Department after January 1, 2020,” reads the draft of the new policy, released by the SCERT. The building should be structurally sound and there must be a separate classroom of not less than 250 sq ft for every 20 children. For every 20 children, there must be one teacher, at least a graduate, and one caregiver, at least a matriculate, at the school. Every playschool in the state will require recognition from the School Education Department and the already operating schools will need to seek recognition before December 31, 2019..
