By IANSTuesday, September 28, 2010
BHUBANESWAR - Orissa is considering a colour code for all state-run school buildings, a minister said Tuesday.
“We are planning to implement a colour code for all school buildings in a phased manner,” School and Mass Education Department Minister Pratap Jena told IANS.
“We are holding discussions with experts to finalise which colours would be suitable. We will take a decision shortly.”
The colouring system will help recognize school buildings from a distance, he said.
Orissa has 56,000 elementary and upper primary schools and 3,558 high schools run by the government.
The state first introduced a dress code for girls in government colleges in 2005. It also imposed a dress code for teachers of elementary and upper primary government schools Sep 15 this year.
