A circular issued earlier this month by the Commissioner of the Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) to conduct a survey of unauthorised schools in the State again for the academic year of 2023-24 and take appropriate legal action has resulted in confusion.
Schools that have not obtained approval for either the State or the Central curriculum and after integration into the Central curriculum, or which are unofficially conducting the State curriculum in the same building, should be closed immediately, the circular said.
The Commissioner also directed that a complaint should be filed in the police station against the schools that are teaching the Central curriculum after getting permission for the State curriculum.
