Haryana education board seeks list of private schools with provisional recognition

Rohtak, January 16

Even as the Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) has written to the Department of School Education, urging it to provide a list of temporarily recognised private schools, which have been granted provisional affiliation, the All Haryana Private School Sangh (AHPSS) has raised objections over the conditions for provisional recognition.

The sangh claims that merely 20 per cent such schools will be benefited by the conditions. Yesterday, the government had decided to extend temporary recognition to schools established before April 2003. “A large number of schools came up after April 2003. A considerable number of schools will not be able to fulfil the condition of having permanent recognition for Classes VIII or X, so this new decision will benefit only 20 per cent of schools, which is unjustified,” said Ravinder Nandal, chief of the AHPSS.

He said the government must relax the conditions to provide relief to all temporarily recognised private schools and protect the fate of students.

“Only those schools that have got extension of provision recognition will be allowed to deposit affiliation fee for enrolling students to appear in the board exams scheduled for next month, hence we have sought a list of such schools,” said Ved Prakash Yadav, Chairman, BSEH.
