Bhubaneswar:
Orissa has extended the dress code deadline for its high school
women teachers - maroon saris with Sambalpuri borders - till the
beginning of the next academic year as adequate fabric is not
available, an official said Sunday.
The state school and mass education department had asked the high
school teachers to follow the dress code from this month. The male
teachers were to wear white shirts and black trousers.
"We have extended the deadline for six months for women teachers
as the saris are not available," the department's secretary
Aparajita Sarangi told IANS.
The saris to be worn by at least 20,000 women teachers in state's
3,558 high schools were to be supplied by the state textile and
handloom department.
However, Sarangi said the male teachers should follow the dress
code.
Orissa first introduced a dress code for girls in government
colleges in 2005. The girls have been wearing salwar kameez and
the boys full-sleeved shirts and trousers in the colours left to
be decided by the college authorities.
Last month, a dress code was introduced for the elementary and
upper primary schools. While male teachers wear black pants and
sky blue shirts, woman teachers wear in pink saris and black
blouses.
