SC to hear on September 24 plea seeking implementation of Centre’s guidelines on safety, security of children in schools

In the wake of recent sexual assault incidents of children in some schools, including Badlapur in Maharashtra, the Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear on September 24 a plea filed by an NGO seeking implementation of the Centre’s guidelines on safety and security of children in educational institutes across the country.

Appearing for the non-governmental organization (NGO), ‘Bachpan Bachao Andolan’, senior advocate HS Phoolka apprised the top court that only five states have implemented the Centre’s guidelines for the safety of children and sought an early hearing on the petition.

The bench of justices BV Nagarathna and NK Singh listed the matter for hearing on September 24.
Notably, the pending petition dates back to May 6, 2019, when the top court issued notices to concerned respondents.

The Bachpan Bachao Andolan said the safety of the kids is being compromised and they are being subjected to “sexual abuse and assault” due to the failure of the state/UT governments to notify the guidelines framed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) in consultation with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).

“These guidelines have been developed for fixing the accountability of the School Management in the matter of Safety and Security of Children studying in Government, Government-aided and Private Schools,” the NGO said.

The plea further said that the recent tragic incident in Badalpur, Maharashtra, where two schoolgirls were allegedly raped by a staff member is an eye-opener that demonstrates that the school management has miserably failed to protect and secure the lives of children. Had these guidelines been notified by the state/UT governments various untoward incidents could have been averted, the plea said.

The petition sought to direct the respondents to notify and implement the ‘Fixing the Accountability of School Management towards the Safety and Security of Children in School Guidelines,’ dated August 20, 2018, prepared by the HRD in consultation with the NCPCR.

During the pendency of the present writ petition, on October 1, 2021, the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education developed, framed and rolled out the ‘Guidelines on School Safety and Security 2021’ in compliance with the directions passed by the top court. These guidelines specifically and categorically mention that the state/ UT governments shall notify these guidelines, the NGO said.

Thereafter the petitioner filed an application for amendment of the writ petition on December 20 2022 inter-alla seeking directions to all the states /UT governments to immediately and mandatorily notify the guidelines.

“It is respectfully submitted that numerous recent incidents have highlighted the failure of school management to protect and secure the lives of children, the most vulnerable members of society,” Jagjit Singh Chhabra, advocate for the petitioner said in the application seeking urgent hearing.
