Ballia district in Uttar Pradesh has banned unauthorised entry of YouTubers and other outsiders into all government and aided basic education schools with immediate effect. District Basic Shiksha Adhikari Manish Singh issued the order on August 7 after a social media channel shared a video of a teacher arriving late at a school in the Bairia area. Officials said the move aims to ensure teaching and learning are not disrupted and to protect the dignity of the teaching profession. Authorised media representatives can still visit schools after obtaining permission from the BSA or block education officer.
