The Child Rights Commission banned the usage of images of children on advertisements of schools. The committee found that displaying pictures of youngsters on advertisement boards made other kids feel competitive and anxious.
The commission directed the public education department's chief secretary, director, and examination secretary to issue guidelines to schools forbidding such boards and advertisements.
The decision was made by the commission's full bench, which included members C Vijayakumar and P P Shyamaladevi in addition to chair K V Manoj Kumar.
