💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has clarified that nursery and elementary schools in India should operate from buildings constructed according to local construction bye-laws. The court was responding to a plea from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) seeking clarity on certain directions issued in a 2009 verdict. The CBSE sought clarification on the restrictions regarding the number of floors in school buildings and the safety standards for staircases as exits or escape routes.
