CBSE Schools to be rated

(Source: The Telegraph) All Central Board of Secondary Education schools will need to undergo formal accreditation by a set of licensed agencies, and will be required to repeat the process after every few years.

A CBSE draft note suggests amendments to the board’s affiliation and examination by-laws, laying down that every school must get itself accredited, and that this must be done within a time limit. The note suggests “a span of three to five years”.

There are around 10,500 schools affiliated to CBSE. CBSE schools will be rated by:

- Faculty, including their qualification
- Assessment, evaluation and admission procedures
- Infrastructure and facilities
- Health and safety mechanisms
