UP Board Cancels Recognition of 465 Schools for Inactivity Over Two Academic Years
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UP Board) has cancelled the recognition of 465 schools statewide for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 academic sessions. This action follows provisions under the Intermediate Education Act, 1921, which automatically revoke recognition if no students appear in board exams or classes are not conducted for two consecutive years. The affected schools include high schools and intermediate colleges across various districts, with Prayagraj reporting the highest number. Board Secretary Bhagwati Singh advised parents to verify school recognition before admission.
