After spate of complaints about economic and emotional exploitation of the students and parents by various schools affiliated with Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) the board has pitched in and asked schools to stay away from the such activities of exploitation of parents and students.

In its recent communication Vineet Joshi, Chairman, CBSE has clearly said that the schools should desist from exploiting parents by opening book shops or uniform centres which prescribe branded accessories, shoes etc. at inflated costs. This is very common complaints of the parents and students of public schools that they have to buy uniforms and other accessories from the school’s shop at inflated costs.

The CBSE Chairman has also instructed the school administration to treat schools as ideological institution and not factories and protection of children rights should be respected as they are sensitive individuals. “All students, irrespective of their differences in physical,
social, economic status or by their being differently-abled are dealt with in a dignified
manner”, it says.

It has also said to take care about the students of senior classes and allow them to take informed decision as the adolescents are vulnerable.

Foreign students will get admission in NITs (National Institute of Technology) and various other engineering colleges in India through AIEEE examination in coming years. Government has approved the scheme ‘in principle’ in a high level meeting chaired by Indian HRD Minister Kapil Sibal.

An on-line examination will be conducted by CBSE through AIEEE at international level for foreign students to promote India’s engineering education throughout the world. Scheme of DASA (Direct Admission for Students from Abroad) was also discussed during the meeting for the admission of foreign students in the engineering colleges. However, no consensus was made on the scheme. It is notable that the scheme was earlier used to provide admission to the foreign students at IITs. But after concern raised from various quarters the scheme was withdrawn.

Several other important decisions were taken during the 2nd NIT Council meeting, in New Delhi. A review committee of the NIT system under the chairmanship of Anil K.Kakodkar was also formed during the meeting.

Admission policies for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes were also reviewed in the NIT Council meeting. Sibal also advocated a centralized admission system for M.Tech courses like AIEEE. A committee to provide merit scholarship to deserving UG students was also constituted in the meeting.

Better networking amongst IITs, NITs and other institutions was also emphasized during the meeting. Sibal said that in order to promote better coordination the directors and chairpersons of IITs and NITs must meet once a year to discuss larger issues connected with technical education and research.
