## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (e): As per information received from Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), a few schools were not following Examination and Affiliation Bye Laws of the Board and were sponsoring students (for Board examination) who were not attending regular classes from the school. Clause 14.2.4 of the Affiliation Bye-Laws of the Board provides that 'No affiliated school shall present the candidates to the Board's examination who are on its roll but have not attended the school regularly or do not meet the requirement of minimum attendance for appearance in the Board's examination'.  Therefore, registration/ List of Candidates (LoC) data of students of classes IX, X, XI and XII of various schools were analyzed by CBSE and abnormalities  in  the  data  of  a  few  schools  were  found.    Hence,  on  03.09.2024,  surprise inspection of 27 CBSE affiliated schools had been conducted by CBSE. As reported by the inspection Committee, these schools were involved in the practice of sponsoring dummy/non attending students.

After issuing Show Cause Notices to these schools and considering their replies, action against all these schools have been taken by the Board in accordance with the provision of Affiliation Bye-Laws of the Board, which included disaffiliation of 21 schools (Annexure A) and down gradation of 06 schools (Annexure B).

(f):  Various  rules  /  guidelines  have  been  incorporated  by  CBSE  in  its  Affiliation  and Examination  Bye  laws  to  ensure  that  the  students  attend  regular  classes  in  their  schools. Clause 6.5,  Clause  13.1(i)  and  Clause  13.2(i)  of  the  Examination  Bye-Laws  of  the  Board, inter  alia,  prescribe  that  the  students  attend  regular  classes  in  their  schools  to  ensure  their eligibility for Board Examination.

(g):  The  Board  has  specified  norms  pertaining  to  minimum  infrastructural/manpower  and other necessary requirement for its schools in the Affiliation Bye Laws which is mandatory for all the CBSE affiliated schools to follow.

(h):  CBSE Affiliation Bye-Laws, inter alia, prescribe that its affiliated schools shall devise and follow a well-organized system for the recruitment of staff (teaching & non-teaching).
