In its bid to generate awareness among students and parents falling prey to fake education boards operating in national Capital, the Delhi Government came out with a list of 12 such boards in Delhi. It may be noted that University Grants Commission (UGC) too had come out with a list of fake universities in country including seven in the national capital last week.
The Directorate of Education (DoE) stated that it does not grant any recognition to any board. "There is no State Board of Government of Delhi. Further, the Directorate of Education (DoE), which regulates Government, private, unaided and aided schools in Delhi, does not grant any recognition to any board," said a DoE order.
Further informing that there are only three recognised education boards in Delhi, the DoE said, "As far as Delhi is concerned, there are only three relevant boards -- Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE) and National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS)."
The boards, which have been declared as fake by DoE, include Urdu Education Board, Gramin Mukth Vidhalyai Shiksha Sansthan, Delhi Board of Secondary Education, The Central Board of Higher Secondary Education, National Open School and Board of Secondary Open Education, Delhi.
Higher Secondary Education Board of Delhi, State Council of Senior Secondary Open Education, Delhi Board of Senior Secondary Education, Board of Higher Secondary Education, Delhi, Council of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Delhi, and The Central Board of Higher Education, Delhi, are the other fake boards operating in Delhi.
