Avoid pvt aid for affiliation: CBSE
With the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) about to implement its new accreditation system, private agencies are approaching schools affiliated to the board offering their services to train staff on the new accreditation system. But the CBSE board has cautioned schools not to entertain such consultants, as they might misguide them.
The board has sent a warning letter to all affiliated institutes about private consultants and accreditation agencies that are approaching schools to offer their services.
The board has announced that it will soon upload online manuals guiding schools about the accreditation and which agencies to take help from.
"Since proper guidelines were not yet laid down about the accreditation, schools were worried and confused. We want to inform all schools not to take such help. The board will soon make the process clear,'' assured a senior CBSE official.
The CBSE, in its letter, stated, "Schools are advised to refrain from falling prey to unscrupulous elements who prefer to deliver training which may not be contextual to CBSE".
The board will soon announce the names of empanelled agencies and they will be the only ones allowed to provide their services to schools.
A principal from a CBSE school in Colaba said, "We were contacted by one such agency who were citing their expertise in helping institutions get accreditation. We were going to take their offer as the board has not yet given any guidelines about the new project. But since there is no clarity about the criteria, there is no sense in taking their help right now.''
