Guwahati, Aug 21: The Assam government has issued a notice mandating a dress code for teachers.

The state government has issued a dress code, asking the teachers of higher educational institutes not to wear casual attire such as T-shirts, jeans and leggings.

In an official notification, the Department of School Education cited teachers wearing attires of their choice in schools, which appears unacceptable. In view of the situation, the order has been issued for all educational institutions.

“Some teachers of higher educational institutes are found in the habit of wearing the dress of their choice which sometimes does not appear to be acceptable by the public at large,” a notification issued by the Assam higher education department stated.

The government asked male teachers to attend duties wearing appropriate formal shirt and pant, dhoti-pyjama. Similarly, female teachers would attend duties in decent salwar suit/saree/mekhela-chador and other traditional attires.

According to the notification both male and female teachers should be dressed up in clean, modest and decent clothes in sober colours, which should not look flashy. They were asked to avoid casual and party apparel.

It further stated that since a teacher is expected to be an example of all sorts of decency, especially while discharging duties, it became necessary to follow a dress code that should reflect a sense of decorum, decency, professionalism and seriousness of purpose at the workplace.
