CBSE directs schools to upload key documents of teachers online

The Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE, has notified schools to provide details of their teachers, along with relevant qualifications and documents, as part of the Mandatory Public Disclosure requirements. Additionally, while some schools have a functional website, CBSE has observed that they have either failed to upload the required information and documents under Mandatory Public Disclosure or have done so only partially. "The board had issued directions to all affiliated schools to develop their own individual website and shall upload details of teachers with qualifications as well as prescribed information and documents as part of Mandatory Public Disclosure, according to the format given in the cited circular," reads the official notice issued by CBSE. "Therefore the Board is giving one final opportunity to all affiliated schools who have not yet complied with the instructions within 30 days of the issue of this circular, failing which the Board would be constraint to initiate necessary proceedings and impose penalty against the erring schools as per Chapter 12 in accordance with Chapter 13 of Affiliation Bye-Laws, without any further reminder," added the notification.
