About this statute

This Order says sanctions apply to parents who do not send children to primary school and to other people who make children work in ways that keep them out of school or push them to drop out. Parents or guardians must send a child to school at the required primary-school age, and if they stop the child’s education they must bring the child back; school authorities may involve Cell authorities if that does not happen. People who make a child work in a way that keeps the child out of school or causes the child to drop out may be dealt with by the competent authorities, and the child must be returned to school by Cell authorities. People who help keep a child out of school can be censured, and the Cell authorities must return the child to school. Teachers or other education staff who unlawfully refuse a child or block continuing studies face administrative sanctions. Any earlier provisions that conflict with this Order are repealed.
