Kerala Bars mobiles and fashion shows in schools & colleges

The Kerala government (India) has barred mobile phones, fashion shows and gyrating dances at educational institutions, less than a week after Mumbai University proposed imposing a strict dress code on college campuses, reports the Calcutta Telegraph.

Both have cited the same objective — to ensure that students do not cross “the limits of decency”.

The new norms prohibit school students from carrying mobile phones. Teachers are allowed to carry cellphones but are required to switch them off before entering classrooms. College students have to switch off the phones once inside the campus.
