A delegation of All Uttarakhand Parents Association met the regional officer of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Friday and complained that most of the CBSE schools of the city are not prescribing the books of the National Council Education Research and Training.
The state President of the association, Neeraj Singhal said that the delegation told the regional officer that the CBSE affiliated schools of the state capital are openly flouting the rules. He said that the as per the provisions these schools are bound to prescribe the textbooks of NCERT to the students but in practice these schools are using the books of private publishers in lieu of hefty commissions. The parents of the students are suffering due to this open exploitation. The delegation demanded that the CBSE should cancel the affiliation of these schools. The association warned that a massive agitation would be launched if no action is taken against these schools soon. Singhal said that the regional officer assured that he would look in the matter.
A delegation of the association met DM and complained that the President of the association is receiving threats from district BJP leaders Deepak Som and Subhash Chauhan as some vested interest do not want the association should continue its struggle against the private schools of the city.
