Rajasthan Govt Teacher Dress Code: If all goes as planned, teachers in government schools will be seen in a dress code from the new academic session. The state government is going to implement a dress code in the state's schools, and preparations have begun. If this rule is implemented, Rajasthan will become the third state in the country after Assam and Maharashtra to implement a dress code.
To create a positive environment in the state's schools, the Bhajan Lal government is now preparing to make major changes in government schools. If all goes well, teachers in government schools will soon be seen in a dress code. The Rajasthan government is engaged in this endeavour. Senior officials of the education department also believe that the implementation of the dress code will not only improve discipline in schools but will also create an atmosphere of trust and inspiration between teachers and students.
Indications regarding the implementation of a dress code for teachers in schools have been given by the Education Minister, Madan Dilawar himself. He stated at a function that a positive mindset is necessary to create a better educational environment in schools. To this end, he also advised school teachers to come to school in plain clothes. He believes this has a positive effect on the minds of children. Since then, efforts to implement a dress code for teachers in the state have been underway, and now it seems to be nearing completion.
In Assam, a northeastern state of India, a dress code for teachers was implemented in August 2023. During this time, male teachers were required to wear formal shirts, trousers, dhotis, or pyjamas. Female teachers were allowed to wear sarees, salwar-suits, or traditional attire. In Maharashtra, one of the largest states in the country, the dress code was implemented in 2024. Here, teachers are not allowed to wear t-shirts, jeans, or designer clothes. Female teachers are required to wear sarees or salwar-kurtas, and male teachers are required to wear formal shirts and trousers.
- Male teachers may be prohibited from wearing t-shirts and jeans.
- Female teachers may be required to wear sarees or salwar-suits to school.
- A specific colour dress code may also be implemented for both male and female teachers.
CBEO Damodar Meena says that implementing a dress code for teachers in schools in the new academic session 2025-26 will be difficult. This is because the education department will be busy with examinations and subsequent results. Therefore, the dress code for teachers in government schools may be implemented from 2026-27, which would be a suitable step towards creating an inspiring environment in schools.
Efforts were made to implement a dress code for teachers in government schools during the previous BJP government of Vasundhara Raje. Meetings of officials were even held for this purpose. However, these efforts were limited to meetings only, and the final decision was shelved.
