The Jammu & Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has asked all schools up to Class 12 to follow textbooks prescribed by the Board in Union Territory. The order has drawn criticism from political parties and publishers in the U.T.
In its latest order issued this month, the Board warned of a disciplinary action and imposition of a penalty up to ₹50,000 or both against those schools recommending books besides the one prescribed by the Board.
“No school shall force any parent or students to purchase books or material other than those published and prescribed by JKBOSE,” the order read.
