| Private schools demand restoration of affiliation portal, extension of JKBOSE deadline | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 25: A meeting of private schools featured a detailed and thoughtful discussion on various issues pertaining to the several unethical directives issued by the School Education Department to grant affiliation / recognition was held under the chairmanship of Kamal Gupta.
General Secretary of the association Satpaul Mansotra highlighted the sufferings of small private schools functioning in the Jammu division which included unreasonable, unjustified and discriminatory rules fixed by the government for the governing of private schools of Jammu and Kashmir to discourage all those who are solely dependent on private schools and have very meager sources of income.
Members from the different districts briefed that government has failed to streamline the process of recognition / affiliation in time bound manner. Most of the departments which have been authorized by the government to provide NOCs that are needed for recognition / affiliation have adopted delay tactics, interest best known to them. President of the association, Ajay Gupta said to the members that a big mockery in the system cannot be denied as on the one hand the joint portal which has been devised by the School Education Department & JKBOSE to upload inspection files is non functional for more than four months and on the other hand JKBOSE has notified the last date to upload the inspection fee along with all essential NOCs by or before June 30, 2026 on online mode. This is nothing but only a conspiracy hatched by the JKBOSE and government to loot the private schools by imposing hefty late fees on all those private schools which will apply after June 30, 2026. He appealed to the members to revolt against this corrupt system until and unless School Education Department does not provide services on online mode for granting NOCs needed for the registration / renewal of Private schools (JKBOSE/ CBSE/ ICSE) under Jammu & Kashmir Public Services Guarantee Act (PSGA) in accordance to the notification No. Edu/14/2026-13 (E-7723811) notified on February 27, 2026 by SED for quick delivery of all NOCs in time bound manner from different departments.
Members unanimously appealed to the government and demanded immediate restoration of the joint portal, extension in the dates without late fee publicized by the JKBOSE for the private schools to upload the renewal/ affiliation files for all the schools.
They also demanded immediate nomination/ appointment of the Chairperson Fixation and Regulation Committee for the quick disposal of files which are gathering dust since long in the department for the want of review/ approval / fixation of fee. |
