The Delhi government, on Friday, issued that there are only three boards operating in Delhi. The information also warned parents to beware of fake educational boards and unrecognised schools. The Delhi government included the ‘Board of Adult Education and Training’ in the list of 12 other fake boards. The Directorate of Education (DoE), said in an order that “No board with the name ‘Board of Adult Education and Training’ is recognised by the Directorate”. The order also mentioned that the Delhi government recognises : Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE), and National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) only and the government does not run any State board. The DoE asked to all societies/ trusts/ agencies/ organisations and individuals to discontinue education activities from the academic session 2018-19 and action would be taken against those who would fail to follow the order. Any person who establishes or runs schools without certificate of recognition or continues to run a school after withdrawal of recognition would be fined and the fine amount could reach upto Rs. 1 lakh also. “Any such schools can seek recognition till 31 May’, it added.
