Section 138

A governor or any other person responsible for the management of an educational institution shall ensure that the premises of the educational institution conform to such standards as may be prescribed for educational institutions of the description to which the educational institution belongs.

If the Minister is satisfied with respect to an educational institution that, having regard to the nature of the site or to an existing building thereof or to other special circumstances affecting the premises, it would be unreasonable in that case to require conformity with the prescribed standards referred to in subsection (1) in any particular respect, he may direct that the premises shall be deemed to conform to the prescribed standards if in lieu of conforming to the prescribed standards the premises conform to such other requirements as may be specified in the direction.
