A National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) team visited the Ryan International School in Gurugram recently and strongly recommended, to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Additional Chief Secretary of the School Education Department, and CBSE Chairman, immediate implementation of certain security measures in schools.

The NCPCR notice to the DCP, dated September 9, said a team from the commission found negligence on the part of the school, which created circumstances for such a brutal incident. To the CBSE Chairman and Additional Chief Secretary of the School Education Department, the NCPCR stated that verification of employees must be done before their appointment.

"If not so, then immediately issue instructions for verification of school employees and contractual staffers to prevent any kind of abuse. No candidate with a criminal record, including sexual or physical violence against children, should be recruited for any post at educational institutions," the notice read.

It further directed the two officials to take action against schools that were not following the mandate and sought a reply on this within seven days.

Talking to DNA, NCPCR member Priyank Kanoongo said the case proved sheer negligence on the part of school staffers. "Lack of monitoring of security and safety arrangements by the school administrations need to be worked upon. We need certain dedicated bodies that can ensure that basic necessities and security arrangements are up to date and adequate," he said.
