CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy directed officials of the Department of School Education to identify and address any shortfalls that may hinder the process of affiliation
The Jagan Mohan Reddy Government has embarked on an ambitious task of securing the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) affiliation for all the 45,000-odd State schools.
The process of affiliation involves a procedure requiring documentations pertaining to various aspects of a school and the Government is wary of the challenges. As the total number of schools affiliated to the CBSE across the country does not exceed 25,000, the Central authorities are skeptical about aligning 45,000-odd schools of Andhra Pradesh in one go. “They want us to maintain certain standards like good school infrastructure, efficient teachers and stipulated teacher-pupil ratio. We have promised them that we will fulfil all the criteria,” Education Minister Adimulapu Suresh said.
