Mita MukherjeeCalcutta: Girls' schools run by Christian missionaries will no longer recruit male teachers for dance, music and physical training while those retained will train students only in the presence of a female teacher. None of these schools have male teachers for other subjects, the Association of Christian Schools said after a meeting on Saturday to review what campuses are doing to ensure the safety of children. The decisions are likely to take effect after a circular is sent to the founder bodies of Christian missionary schools. "After reviewing the safety measures, there was a general understanding that girls' schools should not have male dance, music and PT teachers. Co-ed schools have been asked to ensure that no male employee comes near a girl student when she is alone.
