The Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE, has withdrawn affiliation from 21 schools owing to significant numbers of non-attending students from classes IX-XII.

Additionally, the board has also downgraded six schools from senior secondary to secondary level.

This was informed by the board through an official notice dated November 6, 2024. As per the CBSE, a series of surprise inspections were conducted across 27 schools in Rajasthan and Delhi on September 3, 2024.

The inspections were conducted to ascertain that the schools were operating in compliance with the norms of regular attendance of students in schools as per Affiliation and Examination Bye-Laws of the Board, the CBSE stated.

Asserting that the dummy or non-attending schools undermine educational integrity, the CBSE issued show cause notices, allowing schools 30 days to respond.

“The vital observations of the Surprise Inspection Committees in regard of the irregularities observed during the inspections were communicated as a report to the respective schools. The replies submitted by the schools were examined in detail by the Board,” the board said in the notice.

"The practice of dummy or non-attending admissions contradicts the core mission of school education, compromising students' foundational growth. To address this issue, we are taking a decisive action to combat the proliferation of dummy schools and send a clear message to all affiliated institutions to resist the lure of accepting dummy or non-attending admissions," news agency PTI quoted CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta as saying.
