CBSE affiliation process undergoes a major change for the new schools

MHRD Ministry has introduced some major reforms in the CBSE affiliation process for the new schools. The Union Minister of Human Resource Development, Prakash Javadekar made the announcement regarding the changes. One of the major changes introduced involves moving the entire process online for more transparency. Addressing the media personnel regarding the same Javadekar said ‘there are currently 20,700 schools affiliated with CBSE in the country and every year the board receives 2000 to 2500 applications for opening new schools.’ He also said that NOC inspection which was earlier part of the affiliation process has been removed. Now, schools who want to apply for the affiliation will have to get NOC from the district education officer, who will inspect the infrastructure of the school. After the NOC is done, CBSE will do another inspection to check the learning outcomes. Javadekar said this was done to remove the unnecessary duplicate work at the state and central level and CBSE will only inspect the parameters related to the academics. He further told that CBSE is asking the schools to give undertakings on very vital matters such as inclusion of sports in schools, disclosing the entire fee structure, etc. Schools are required to provide undertaking on all these matters and those who fail to abide by the rules will lose their CBSE affiliation. He also said that schools cannot ask the students to buy books and uniforms from a particular vendor.

DU’s chemistry department cannot fill in the blanks for the missing staff

Earlier DU had hired teaching staff to fill in the vacancies in Delhi University's chemistry department, but many of them are retired teachers and some are even PhD students designated as 'teaching assistants', a post no longer accepted by the university. Many of the hired teachers also claimed that they did not receive any appointment letter. Due to the shortage of the faculty, the university has asked the chemistry department to hire the teachers on the ad-hoc basis and department head Ramesh Chandra named retired teachers, faculty from the Department of Science and Technology Inspire and PhD students for these posts in July. Some teachers from the university also claimed that these teachers did not go through proper selection channel and their competency to teach the MSc. students is questionable. NK Kaushik, who retired from the chemistry department is yet to report to the work. He told "I was indeed approached to teach in the department, but was never given any appointment letter. I had also told the HoD that my eyesight was weak and I was slated for a surgery." Another teacher from the Hindu College, Ram Saran also has a similar tale. "I did not receive any communication to join as a teacher. I am not sure why my name is being included as a teacher without my consent." The names of both the teachers are however included in the DU’s semester timetable. Two PhD students have also been appointed as teaching assistants. "As teaching assistants, we were asked to aid the teachers when they conduct practicals," said Ravi Tomar, one of the two. When asked how the posts for the teachers were filled, Chandra said "The retired teachers and those from DST Inspire are better than some of the ad hocs available."
