The Commissioner, Department of Public Instruction (DPI), has ordered officers to take necessary action against private schools which are opening early.
All schools in the State, which are registered under the Karnataka Education Act, should work for five-and-a-half-hours regularly and half-a-day every Saturday.
According to this rule, in Bengaluru the schools should start between 8 a.m and 8.30 a.m. However, some private schools are opening earlier like 7 a.m to 7.30 a.m.
