The plea was mentioned today before a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra who said a similar petition was already pending and listed the matter for hearing tomorrow.
The bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said several writ petitions have already been filed in the apex court on the issue.
"You be there tomorrow in the court," the bench told advocate Samar Vijay Singh who mentioned the matter.
The plea sought a direction to the ministry to fix the responsibility, liability and accountability of the principal and the management of the schools in case of any untoward incidents.

The plea has been filed in the backdrop of the Gurugram's Ryan International School incident in which a class II student was found dead inside the school with his throat slit by a sharp-edged weapon on the morning of September 8.
The 2014 guidelines contained a slew of directions for safety of children inside the school premises and even on the way to and from the educational institutions.
The guidelines listed out directions to state governments such as removal of all sale points of objectionable materials and community policing against the sale of tobacco or drugs near the schools.
It also directed the states to vigorously and constantly enforce traffic rules by monitoring the colour of school vehicles/buses, asking the police to verify the background of their drivers and helpers.
