## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK')

(a)  to  (c):  Central  Board  of  Secondary  Education  (CBSE)  is  an  examination  conducting  body which affiliates  schools  for  the  purpose  of  certification  of  students  at  the  end  of  Class  X  and Class  XII  courses  on  fulfilment  of  norms  prescribed  in  the  Examination  and  Affiliation  ByeLaws  of  the  Board.  The  schools  affiliated  with  CBSE  are  recognised  by  the  respective  State Governments under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009. However, the Board has issued a circular No. 07/2018 dated 31.05.2018 regarding Adherence to provisions of RTE Act, 2009 and Affiliation Bye-Laws of the Board.

-  The schools are required to have valid copy of Recognition certificate from the concerned State/ UT government as stipulated in Section 18(1) of RTE Act, 2009.
-  The school shall ensure that provisions of the RTE Act, 2009 and State Education Acts are  complied with meticulously.

Education  is  in  the  Concurrent  List  and  majority  of  the  schools  are  under  the  administrative control of the States and UTs. Therefore, the implementation of RTE Act in all schools including those which are affiliated with CBSE comes under the purview of the concerned State and UT Government.

(d): The detail of private schools of North East region and Uttar Pradesh against whom enquiry has been initiated regarding financial or other irregularities by CBSE is as follows:
