CBSE Revokes Affiliation for 21 Schools

In a recent move to reinforce educational standards, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has withdrawn affiliation from 21 schools and downgraded 6 others across Delhi and Rajasthan. Following a surprise inspection and detailed scrutiny, CBSE identified significant non-compliance with student attendance guidelines. This action aims to curtail the growing trend of "dummy admissions" — students enrolled but not regularly attending classes.

Reasons Behind the Disaffiliations and Downgrades

The CBSE inspections revealed a concerning number of non-attending students, especially in classes 9 to 12, suggesting the existence of "dummy" or absentee enrollments. According to CBSE, this behavior undermines the objective of formal education by jeopardizing children' basic development. The board’s decision was based on school authorities’ responses, survey findings, and video evidence from the inspections.

Impact on Class 10 and 12 Students

For students preparing for their board exams in these schools, CBSE has put in place measures to ease the transition and minimize disruption:

1. Grace Period for Exam Completion

CBSE may grant a grace period to allow affected students to complete their exams, temporarily extending CBSE recognition for this purpose.

2. Transfer to Nearby Schools

Where possible, CBSE arranges transfers to nearby CBSE-affiliated schools, allowing students to continue their education and appear for exams.

3. Legal Options

Some parents and schools may opt for legal recourse to ensure students can sit for exams under CBSE if other solutions prove inadequate.

4. Other Exam Options

• Private Candidates: Students may be permitted to take exams as private candidates.
• Exams in Nearby Schools: Students might be allowed to write exams at a nearby CBSE-affiliated school while continuing studies in their current school.

Final Note for Parents and Students

While CBSE or school administration may implement any of the above solutions, contacting school authorities remains the best way to get reliable updates on how they will support students in getting their CBSE mark sheets.

Conclusion

CBSE’s recent action against these schools serves as a firm reminder of its commitment to upholding educational standards and student integrity. By addressing the issue of dummy enrollments, CBSE aims to ensure that its affiliated schools provide a quality learning environment focused on regular attendance and student growth.

For affected students, while this transition may feel challenging, CBSE’s measures, such as grace periods, school transfers, and alternative exam options, are designed to minimize academic disruption. Students and parents should stay connected with school administration for guidance and support during this period. This decisive move by CBSE emphasizes the importance of integrity in education, urging all affiliated institutions to strictly adhere to its guidelines.
