More than 15,000 private schools will have hassle-free and fast approval for starting a new school, getting extension of affiliation, and permission to start additional sections and new courses as the school Education department has launched a new portal for providing these Services.
Private schools ask for recognition up to 10 years for schools which have been functioning for more than two decades, with annual renewal of sanitary, building stability and fire safety certificates.
Some 2,500 private schools which do not have the approval of the Directorate of Town and Country planning (DTCP) or local planning authority (LPA) for buildings are getting extension of approval every year. This year, the school education department gave approval only after they submitted evidence while applying for regularisation of school buildings.
