MUMBAI: If you're a school affiliated to the ICSE or CBSE board--or even one that subscribes to an international curriculum--make sure your institution is recognised by the state government.
Several new schools affiliated to boards other than the SSC do not have a certificate of recognition from the Maharashtra government. "We want all such schools to immediately apply for recognition as students from unrecognised institutions will not be given admission to Std XI at a junior college that follows the HSC syllabus,'' says Shridhar Salunkhe, chairman of the Mumbai division of the state board of education.
This decision was taken at a meeting of state board officials on Wednesday. "Many ICSE and CBSE schools feel they don't need to follow guidelines of the government. This is not right,'' says Fr Francis Swamy, principal of Holy Family School in Andheri.
