All schools to have websites by Mar 31

Now schools have websites

In line with directions of the Central Board of Secondary Education ( CBSE) to bring transparency in the working of private schools and enable the parents to keep a tab on the performance of their children, most city schools are busy setting up their websites. CBSE had asked all private schools to launch their website by March 31.

The schools had been directed to upload the fee records and report cards of students so that their guardians can check these.

The school websites will enable parents to know what delegates in Continuing and Comprehensive Education ( CCE ) have discussed. Apart from this, it will bring about transparency in the working of private schools, including the admission process.

The websites are also supposed to have details of CBSE guidelines, numbers of teachers appointed, the average number of students, details of the fee structure, courses taught, contact numbers of the school administrators, infrastructure, salaries of teachers, names of the students, phone number of parents and their email IDs.

Principal of BCM Arya Model Senior Secondary School, Shastri Nagar, Paramjit Kaur said it is not possible to mention the grades of the students on the website, adding that most of the other directions are already being followed by schools. TOI
