CHANDIGARH: Following
Gyandeep School’s repeated requests, the UT education department is again in the process of finalising if the school should be granted recognition to run classes XI and XII. The school’s authorisation for the same was withdrawn in March 2018 after a number of anomalies came to light in records and admission process.
“I saw the report filed by the committee. They have pointed out 13 to 14 anomalies. We will be writing to the school to comply with all points. Once they do so, we will consider their case," said director school education Rubinderjit Singh Brar.
In 2017, a committee was formed by the director school education, Rubinderjit Singh Brar. The panel, headed by the then deputy director school education, Saroj Mittal, after visiting the school on March 27 had stated that chances of granting recognition to the school were bleak as it failed to maintain proper records. The committee was also not impressed with the infrastructure and upkeep of the school.
The committee, however, decided to give another chance to the school to provide documents, which the school had earlier failed to show. No decision was, however, given at that time.
Thereafter, the school again wrote a letter to the director school education, Rubinderjit Singh Brar, following which another inspection was conducted in December 2019 by a committee headed by deputy director school education Suman Sharma and district education officer Alka Mehta.
Since then, the file is pending with the deputy director school education, Sharma.
It was on the proposal of district education officer that director school education had approved the withdrawl of recognition of classes XI and XII of Gyandeep Model High School in Sector 20, Chandigarh. The school had landed into trouble in March 2017 when the class XII students of the school did not get their roll numbers for board exams.
