Amidst on-going protests against alleged sexual assault at two privately-run schools in Kolkata state education minister Partha Chatterjee said that the state government would issue a directive to all private schools for submitting a declaration stating their infrastructure, to the state education department. “They send it to the respective ICSE and CBSE boards. Along with that schools will also have to submit such declaration to the state government. Soon notifications would be sent to all the private schools in this regard,” Chatterjee said on Tuesday. In the month of November, it was alleged that two teachers had allegedly sexually assaulted a four-year-old at GD Birla Centre of Education at Ranikuthi in south Kolkata and following protests from parents and guardians the two accused teachers had been arrested by Kolkata Police.
