Process of CBSE School Accreditation in India

Central Board of Secondary Education or CBSE is considered to set a benchmark in the education sector in India.  Being a school affiliated to CBSE is a key factor for assured growth in coming years. But, to seek CBSE affiliation is a time consuming and tedious process. However, once a school gets affiliation from the CBSE, it needs to be accredited. Through School Quality Assessment and Accreditation (SQAA), CBSE has decided to conduct a thorough assessment of the quality of schools and measure the level of functions performed in the schools. It has also been decided that the schools be accredited once in every three years.

How to get CBSE Accreditation?

When a school is accredited by CBSE, this assures that the school can get the quality of education as well as confidence in its financial resources, human resources, performances and purposes which will ensure that the mission of the school gets accomplished. By September 2012, all CBSE schools will have to undergo a compulsory accreditation process. The aim of this process is not to compare or rank the schools but to provide quality education and implement effective systems. At the end of the assessment, each school shall receive the report containing the shortcomings on which the school will have to work upon.

The Process for Recognition is as follows:

    • Firstly, it is important for all the schools to refer to the CBSE website from time to time to keep themselves updated with the policies, schemes, amendments made such as implementation of SQAA along with list of agencies approved for accreditation process etc.
    • Apart from this, the schools intending to get accredited must ensure that they have a website with an ‘Accreditation Corner’ as prescribed by the CBSE and upload the ‘Mandatory Disclosure Form’ on their website before 31st December, 2012, which is available on the CBSE website.
    • Now, the schools should form a School Assessment Committee (SAC) with the Principal as the head of the committee. The schools intending to undergo accreditation should fill-in the ‘Form of Intent’ and submit it to the CBSE after which it would receive a confirmation letter to gain accreditation.
    • Once, the school receives an acknowledgement from the CBSE/agency, it should then fill-in the online SQAA Instruments after going through the SQAA Manual and submit it to the authorized agency.
    • After completing the formalities, the schools should make arrangements as per the Peer Assessment Team (PAT) visit schedule for coordinating the availability of students, teachers etc. apart from access to physical infrastructure, documents etc. to be produced for verification to the team members.
    • Also, the schools should act in a professional manner and not resort to any unwanted actions like concealing vital facts and figures and should use the visit of PAT members as a learning visit for improving the school quality irrespective of the result of SQAA.
    • After the visit, the schools would be given a ‘School Quality Enhancement Report’ (SQER) which should be thoroughly gone through and necessary action should be taken accordingly for improving the quality of teaching and learning.
    • A school which gets a score of 75 % or above (overall) and minimum 50 % shall be declared ‘Accredited’ by CBSE. The school’s name shall be then listed on the CBSE website under the list of accredited schools. The schools may use the terminology ‘affiliated and accredited CBSE School’ instead of only using “affiliated to CBSE”. The schools should not make any other false claim.
    • The validity period of SQAA accreditation is three years. A fresh application for renewal should be made before the expiry of the three year period to enjoy the privilege of being an ‘Accredited School of CBSE’ in a continuous manner.

Education is an indispensable part of every individual’s life. Amongst all the educational institutions, schools play the most important role as they aim to nurture children for their holistic development. Even though there are a number of schools in India, still, there is an unending demand for more schools. This has paved way for the aspiring investors to enter this noble profession and serve the society. Moreover, starting a school in India can turn out to be a lucrative and fruitful venture if you have the right knowledge and aptitude to work in this field. However, starting a school involves a lot of legal formalities and procedures, acquiring licenses and permits at almost every stage.

So, if you want to open a school then you must be well-versed with all the permits required for starting a school:

    • Every school operates under a Society/Trust. So, you need to obtain the Memorandum of Association (MoA), a document required at every stage. It is a document that includes the names and other important details of all the members of your association.
    • Further, you must obtain the No Objection Certificate (NOC) also known as the Essentiality Certificate (EC). As the name suggest, it is mandatory to obtain the EC from the State Department of Education. For this, you need to submit the following documents, along with the prescribed application fee. The list of documents is as follows:
      1. Memorandum of Association
      2. Undertaking regarding fee structure
      3. Enrolment of students
      4. Document regarding ownership of land (in case of personal property)
    • In addition to this, you also need to acquire the “Letter of Intent” from the Department of Education, on the basis of which you will be allotted the land and then you need to forward it to the concerned land owning authorities of the state.
    • Also, during the construction process you can simultaneously obtain other secondary documents such as sanctioned building plan, water testing report, health certificate, permit from the fire department etc.
    • Further, you need to seek permission and recognition to operate your school. For this, you need to approach the state’s Municipal Corporation. It grants recognition to primary schools (up to class Vth) whereas, recognition for secondary schools (up to class IXth) is granted by DoE. You can further apply for recognition up to X and XII grades from the DoE only after a gap of at least 2 years. Along with the application of recognition you need to submit a set of 17 documents which includes all the aforementioned certificates too.
    • Lastly, you need to seek affiliation from a recognized board of education. Seeking affiliation means that your school will adhere to the norms and guidelines laid down by the board of education. You can seek affiliation to CBSE, CISCE or State board of education.

 

These are some of the permits required before and during the process of establishing a school. However, if you feel that it is a lengthy and tedious procedure to approach the authorities and gain permits all by yourself, then it is advisable to own a franchise.
