Top NCR Schools To Face Recognition Revocation

The Noida district administration has taken decisive action against 12 private schools refusing to admit students under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The District Magistrate (DM) has mandated the formation of a committee to potentially revoke the recognition of these schools. If the committee’s investigation finds the schools at fault, their recognition could be canceled.

Basic Education Officer Rahul Panwar notified DM Manish Kumar Verma about the schools’ non-compliance with RTE. In response, the DM ordered the establishment of a committee to review and potentially revoke their recognition, with a directive to send the committee’s findings to the government. The committee, led by SDM Ved Prakash Pandey, includes District Disability Officer Ashish Kumar and Principal Chhavi Singh of Kumari Mayawati Inter College. Notices have been issued to the schools in question.

The schools that have received notices include Bal Bharati Public School, The Millennium School, Ramagya School, Raghav Global School, Shiv Nadar School, Fortune World School, Army Public School in Noida, and Darbari Lal Foundation World School, Delhi Public School, Oxford Green Public School, and Sanskar Roza Jalalpur in Greater Noida.

In Noida’s council schools, students absent for more than 30 days or scoring less than 35 percent in any exam will be classified as out-of-school. The Director-General of the Basic Education Department has issued instructions to district basic education officers regarding this policy.

The directive specifies that any child aged six to 14 who is not enrolled in school will be considered out-of-school. If a child is absent for 30 consecutive days within a year of enrollment, they will be classified as out-of-school. Extra classes will be arranged for students scoring less than 35 percent in the annual assessment to enhance their educational performance.

BSA Rahul Panwar stated that monthly meetings will be held with headmasters and teachers to monitor student attendance. The meetings will also focus on students who are frequently absent. Teachers will counsel parents, raising awareness and encouraging them to ensure their children attend school regularly.
