CIC Recommends Surprise Inspections of CBSE Schools Over Dummy Admission Concerns
The Central Information Commission (CIC) has recommended that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conduct surprise inspections of its affiliated schools to address allegations of dummy admissions and verify compliance with mandatory attendance rules. This recommendation follows a complaint filed via the Right to Information Act concerning students receiving certificates without regular class attendance, particularly in private missionary schools in Bhopal. The CIC invoked Section 25(5) of the RTI Act to emphasize the need for monitoring mechanisms to uphold affiliation conditions and academic standards.
