Gujarat govt takes over administration of Ahmedabad's Seventh Day School

The Gujarat government has taken over the administration of the Christian trust-run Seventh Day Adventist School in Ahmedabad. The decision was announced through an official resolution issued by the Education department.

The move comes after the murder of a student outside the school premises and subsequent findings by an inquiry committee, which highlighted multiple irregularities in the school’s functioning.

The District Education Officer (DEO) has been appointed as the administrator of the institution. As per the resolution, no new admissions will be allowed. However, students currently enrolled will be allowed to continue their studies without disruption.

The school was widely known for providing affordable, quality education to children from poor and middle-class families in the locality.

The government’s decision has sparked debate over the future of private school administration and regulatory oversight in the state.
