Maharashtra education department warns schools against sharing student data to private agencies

The Maharashtra education department has warned schools against sharing the personal data of students to private agencies and coaching classes.

In a circular that was issued recently, the department has stated that schools will face action if complaints of data breach are reported.

“During the current situation, as learning has moved online, schools are using various tools for e-learning. For the purpose of online education, schools have collected contact details of students and parents. However, in many cases, this data is shared with private agencies which use it for marketing. Schools should refrain from such practices,” stated the circular.
