Gangtok, April 9 A government school in Sikkim's Dikchu has banned staff members from using personal devices for social media during working hours, in an effort to ensure that students and teachers remain focused on their studies.
"All staff members of this institution are hereby informed to refrain from creating/preparing personal content on social media during working hours on the school campus," Principal Santosh Regmi said in a notice.
The school, however, allows the creation of videos that are part of the "innovative practices" of teaching and learning for students.
Such content can be created without disrupting or interrupting the regular class periods and the school's learning process, the principal said.
Under this directive, staff members are also not allowed to record or engage in any personal social media content while on duty within the school premises, the notice stated.
