CBSE Issues Notices To 29 Schools For Rule Violations

Share

The Central Board of Secondary Education has issued show cause notices to 29 schools in Delhi and five other states following alleged violations of its affiliation bye-laws. Following the surprise inspections on December 18 and 19, 2024, these notices pointed to enrolment anomalies and failures in academic and infrastructural parameters across multiple locations. The inspections, followed by their findings, represent the board’s commitment to complying with regulations regarding the quality of education and infrastructures in the schools affiliated to CBSE.

A statement by the Central Board of Secondary Education revealed significant issues regarding the running of the said institutions during inspection. While Delhi witnessed surprise inspections on December 18, inspections also happened in other locations: on December 19 in Karnataka at Bengaluru; Bihar in Patna; Chhattisgarh in Bilaspur; Uttar Pradesh in Varanasi; and in Gujarat in Ahmedabad. After analyzing the inspection reports in detail, CBSE found that most of the schools inspected had violated its Affiliation Bye-Laws. The major issues were irregularities in student enrollment practices, inadequate adherence to academic norms, and infrastructural facilities, all of which are critical for maintaining CBSE standards.

The total number of schools, violating the given regulation, was found to be 18 in Delhi, 3 in Uttar Pradesh, and 2 in Karnataka, Bihar, Gujarat, and Chhattisgarh respectively. Some of the schools mentioned in the report of Delhi are Hope Hall Foundation School, Jagriti Public School, Oxford Public School, JN International School, and Nav Gian Deep Public School. Other institutions that have come under the radar include S D Memorial Vidya Mandir, Navyug Convent School, and C R Oasis Convent School. They have been directed to take corrective action on the concerns raised and express their views over the notices.

In Bengaluru, similar complaints were found against Sri Chaitanya Techno School and Narayana Olympiad School. Satyam International and Eklavya Educational Complex were found to be non-compliant with CBSE standards in Patna. In Varanasi, inspections were conducted on Raj English School, Happy Model School, and St K C Memorial English School. Nirman High School and The New Tulip International School were found to be violating the rules in Ahmedabad. Modern Educational Academy and Intelligent Public School were found to be violating the rules in Bilaspur.

CBSE has emphasized the importance of adherence to its Affiliation Bye-Laws, which are designed to ensure that schools maintain high standards of education and provide an environment conducive to learning. Schools that fail to comply with these regulations risk losing their CBSE affiliation, which could significantly impact their operations and the credibility of their certificates. The schools in question have been told by the board to submit their response within 30 days of the receipt of the notices. In case the satisfactory explanations were not submitted or the violations not dealt with, further proceedings, including disaffiliation, may follow.

The CBSE checks were carried out based on observations on variations that can arise in operations within schools, potentially altering the quality of education being provided to learners. Surprise checks are part of the ongoing exercise by CBSE in ensuring transparency and accountability amongst its registered institutions. The board has again emphasized that it will not hesitate to take strict action against schools that do not maintain standards prescribed for them, which might otherwise adversely impact the student experience.

Now that the schools named in the notices are under serious pressure to redress the maladies pointed out by CBSE, the deadline of 30 days to reply signifies the urgency under which these institutions must work in order to stay affiliated. Compliance with regulations may be the short-term focus, but the broader objective is the quality education delivered in a safe and supportive setting for students. The board’s proactive measures send a clear message about its zero-tolerance approach to lapses in standards and its dedication to safeguarding the interests of students.

This is a lesson for all CBSE affiliated schools as they need to keep reminding themselves about following the rules and maintaining high standards in both academic and infrastructural practices. Findings from such inspections bring home the fact that constant vigilance and improvement are required to ensure that every student derives an education of quality to the expectations of CBSE and the wider community.
