New Delhi: CBSE has warned schools against
operating coaching institutes for entrance exams or conducting
parallel classes in its premises besides charging fees which
are not commensurate with the facilities.
Running of classes of coaching institutions in school
premises on the pretext of provding coaching to students for
various entrance examinations is not approved by the Board,
CBSE said in a circular.
Some schools are organising such programmes by naming it
as an integrated school programme that teaches both CBSE
syllabus and prepare students for various entrance tests to
"mislead" the students and their parents, it said.
"The premises of CBSE schools should not be used for any
commerical activity. Every school should ensure devotion of
minimum periods for teaching various subjects as per the
syllabi and course prescribed by the Board.
"No coaching classes or parallel classes should be run in
the school that consumes and affects the regular time table of
the school or that deviates the focus of students from regular
course of study," the circular said.
The CBSE said heads of schools are advised to bring this
to the knowledge of school managing committees and any
violation of the guidelines of the Board would attract action
against the erring schools.
The circular also said there had been instances of some
schools charging fees which are not commensurate with the
facilities.
