Over 1100 Private Schools in Haryana Blacklisted, New Admissions Suspended Amid Regulatory Violations The Haryana education department has taken stringent action against over 1100 private schools across the state, blacklisting them and suspending new admissions. The decision follows widespread non-compliance with regulatory standards, including inadequate infrastructure, violations of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, and failure to meet basic operational requirements. The move has affected both temporary and permanent schools, with 63 institutions in Rohitak specifically targeted after their MIS (School Management Information System) portal was shut down. The action was initiated after a comprehensive review of school operations revealed systemic issues. In Rohitak, 63 schools were found to be operating without adherence to mandated norms, including insufficient facilities and non-compliance with RTE guidelines. The department immediately suspended new admissions for these schools, citing violations of regulations related to infrastructure, safety, and equitable access to education. The affected institutions were also placed on a blacklist, effectively barring them from the official portal for administrative processes. The crackdown extended beyond Rohitak, with the state government implementing a state-wide audit. A total of 145 temporary schools with expired approvals were shut down, while 269 schools with valid permissions but lacking compliance with RTE provisions faced portal restrictions. Additionally, 693 permanent schools were penalized for failing to upload data on reserved seats for economically weaker sections (EWS) students, a key requirement under the RTE Act. The audit uncovered alarming deficiencies in many schools.#haryana #education_department #rohitak #mis_portal
