The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has cancelled the affiliation of 20 schools across India on Friday, after it was revealed that these schools were involved in malpractices. The malpractices included presenting dummy students, ineligible candidates and not maintaining records properly, said Secretary, CBSE, Himanshu Gupta.
“Pursuant to a surprise inspection conducted in CBSE schools across the country to check whether the schools are running as per provisions and norms contained in affiliation and examination by-laws, it was found that some schools are committing various malpractices,” Mr. Gupta said.
Mr. Gupta said, “After thorough inquiry, it has been decided to disaffiliate and downgrade the schools.”
