The Education Department in Goa has issued a new directive stating that students in schools across the state are no longer allowed to wear leather shoes. Instead, they must wear only canvas shoes. The decision was made to promote comfort and reduce the financial burden on parents. Leather shoes can be expensive, and by mandating canvas shoes, the department aims to make school uniforms more affordable for families. This move is also in line with the department’s focus on creating a more inclusive and accessible education system. The decision has received mixed reactions from parents and students, with some welcoming the change for its cost-effectiveness and comfort, while others expressing concerns about the durability and maintenance of canvas shoes. The Education Department is confident that this change will have a positive impact on both students and parents, and they are committed to ensuring that all schools in Goa adhere to this new rule.
