Andhra Pradesh Child Rights Commission chairman K. Appa Rao said strict action will be taken against teachers who promote any religion or caste among children in schools.
In a release on Saturday, Mr. Appa Rao said the commission has noticed teachers promoting religions in schools in some districts of the State.
He said departmental action will be taken against such teachers. They should only teach moral values such as ethics, justice and social service to students.
He said teachers and other staff in schools should ensure that the issues related to religion, caste, community and others are not discussed around children.
