CBSE Issues Guidelines to Prevent Dog Bites in Schools
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has given new rules to schools to keep students safe from stray dogs.
These rules say schools should have strong fences, security guards, and teach students and teachers how to stay safe around dogs.
Schools in Bhopal say they already have these safety measures in place.
They also report any stray dogs they see to the city authorities.
This is because there have been many cases of stray dogs biting children in the city.
The schools want to make sure their students are safe both inside and outside the school grounds.
CBSE issued guidelines for schools to prevent dog bites and manage stray dogs on premises.
Schools in Bhopal claim their students are safe with boundary walls, security guards, and awareness sessions.
Guidelines include designating a nodal officer for premises upkeep and cleanliness.
Schools are urged to coordinate with municipal authorities for the removal of stray dogs.
Principals acknowledge the risk of dog attacks outside school premises during commute.
