Affiliation of Four Schools Suspended, Eight Penalized
Srinagar, Nov 20: The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (J&K BOSE) has suspended the affiliation of four schools after confirming complaints that these institutions were using textbooks not approved by the Board.
In a statement issued to the Kashmir News Corner (KNC), the Board said that show-cause notices are being served to these schools, seeking an explanation on why their affiliation should not be fully revoked for openly violating the affiliation norms and provisions of the J&K BOSE Act.
According to the press release, the schools whose affiliation has been suspended include Radiant Public School, Anantnag; Solace International School, Pulwama; Holy Mission School, Narbal, Budgam; and Pioneer Educational Institute, Hanjiwara, Pattan, Baramulla. All Board-related facilities for these schools have been halted with immediate effect.
The schools which were imposed fine include Candid Higher Secondary School, Nowgam, Fayaz Educational Institute, Chanapora, Nowgam, Al- Fajr Institute, Chanapora, Nowgam, Al- Huda Public School, Pattan, Baramulla, Shamas Memorial School, Khansahib, Budgam, Hanfia High School, Frisal, Kulgam, Future Vision School, Bandipora and Linton Hall School, Rajbagh, Srinagar.
The institutions were directed to deposit the penalty amount within a week in default of which disaffiliation proceedings will be initiated.
Meanwhile, the Board has issued stern instructions to private schools to ensure adoption of prescribed curriculum including textbooks, which it said are aligned with NEP- 2020 involving age appropriate content of NCERT.
The textbooks, BOSE said are affordable and cost effective with focus on competency-based learning in sync with physical and mental development of children.
Adoption of these books ensures academic growth without bringing mental pressure to the children in their formative stages of development, it added. (KNC)
