Over 1 lakh students wear sandals to school instead of shoes: Karnataka Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa
Karnataka School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa Friday said 1,39,078 students in the state wear sandals to school instead of shoes.
In his reply to Mangalore South MLA Vedavyas Kamath during the ongoing Winter Session of the Assembly in Belagavi, Bangarappa stated that wearing sandals instead of school shoes does not amount to any violation and that no action needs to be taken against education officials who are distributing sandals to students in government schools.
Referring to a 2022 government order, Bangarappa said, “Students have been directed to wear shoes or sandals as per the weather conditions in different regions of Karnataka. Since Malenadu and Karavali region receive heavy rainfall for three to four months continuously and with the North Karnataka region having soaring temperatures, it is appropriate for students to wear sandals in such cases instead of shoes. As per the weather conditions in different regions, school authorities distribute sandals or shoes accordingly.”
