Sirsa Private Schools Blacklisted | Code Change Non-Recognized The education department has blacklisted nearly 16 private schools in Sirsa, blocking them from admitting new students through the MIS portal. The schools were flagged for violations of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, failure to renew their licenses for over a decade, and changes to their school codes that rendered their previous registrations invalid. Officials stated that these schools were not compliant with regulatory requirements and had ignored repeated demands for documentation. The department has instructed the schools to submit updated reports, which will be reviewed before any further action is taken. The schools in question were identified for four primary reasons: They failed to allocate 25% of seats to economically disadvantaged students as mandated by the RTE Act. Some institutions operated without valid accreditation. Others did not renew their licenses within the stipulated 10-year period. A few schools changed their school codes, rendering their previous registrations obsolete. Education officer Subhash Kumar Futeila confirmed that the department had received reports from all affected schools and acted based on the findings. He emphasized that the current measures aim to ensure compliance with educational standards and protect the rights of students. While the schools can still issue Secondary School Certificate (SSLC) exams to existing students, they are prohibited from enrolling new applicants until their compliance issues are resolved. The decision has raised concerns among private school administrators, who argued that some institutions had submitted applications for renewed licenses but were not recognized by the department.#private_schools #education_department #right_to_education_act #sirsa #subhash_kumar_futeila
