Almost two years after registering an FIR for ‘operating illegally’, the school education officer, South Zone, has finally initiated the process to shut down Dharavi’s Morning Star School. The students currently enrolled will be relocated to other nearby schools, and parents have already been informed of the decision, the South Zone education officer told mid-day.

As per officials of the school education department, the school has been issued warnings and notices multiple times before but still continues to operate without approval and RTE recognition. Officials said that an action has been initiated against the Morning Star School under the RTE Act, 2009.
