New by-laws for affiliation to CBSE schools promote transparency

Human Resource Department Union Minister Prakash Javadekar announced the ministry's decision to revamp the norms for granting affiliation to CBSE schools yesterday. The revised by-laws give emphasis to learning outcomes, and aim to make the process of affiliating with the board more simple and transparent.

Javadekar said that the by-laws have been revised for the sake of higher transparency, speed and hassle-free procedures, with the emphasis being on learning outcomes. He highlighted the main changes and transition of the affiliation of the system from a complex one to a simpler system.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is affiliated to over 20,000 schools nationwide, and receives applications from 2,000-2,500 schools who wish to affiliate with the board. To increase the level of transparency, all the applications for affiliation to the board will now be done online, as per the new by-laws.
