70. The District Education Officers' relation to unaided schools.
- Although the same standard of efficiency cannot ordinarily be expected in an unaided school as in an institution maintained or aided by Government, the District Education Officer should require a certain minimum of efficiency in every school recognised by the Department, taking into consideration in each case the standard of instruction to which the school proposes to teach. If the District Education Officer, considers any school to fall short of that minimum in the matter of management, school building, staff, equipment or discipline and if the school authorities show unwillingness or unwarrantable delay in carrying out his requirements he should, in the case of a High School, recommend to the Board of Secondary Education and in the case of basic school to the Board of Basic Education, the withdrawal of recognition and in other cases, withdraw recognition for so long a period as he deems necessary.
