Bihar has issued a new regulation prohibiting teachers and students from making reels and videos during school hours, saying such activity can affect teaching and may infringe on students’ privacy.

The directive also bars outsiders from visiting schools while classes are in session. The state has said the move is intended to maintain discipline in classrooms and protect the learning environment.

According to the latest regulation, making reels during school hours has the potential to interfere with teaching and could compromise student privacy. The order is now in effect across schools in the state.
