CBSE schools to update details of fee structure online


The Central Board of Secondary Education has sought details on net-based learning in schools and asked to provide the details of Wi-Fi speed and MBPS.

The Deputy Secretary Affiliation of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a circular to the affiliated schools to update information on fees structure, infrastructure and other information on their website and on the CBSE website as well.

Following the notice issued by the CBSE, the affiliated schools will update the necessary information regarding student enrolment, audit report, balance sheets, safety measures at schools, teacher's qualification, fee structures, status on infrastructure, and academic calendar of events on the website by the end of November this year.

What the circulation directs the affiliated schools:

  • The CBSE also directs the affiliated schools to upload a five-minute video, which would display the panoramic view of the campus, school interiors such as class room, laboratories, libraries and other outdoor facilities
  • In the notification, the CBSE has also sought details on net-based learning in schools and asked the schools to provide the details of WiFi speed and MBPS
  • The schools are directed to provide detail information on the facilities and programmes such as sports training, canteens, hostels, mess and many more
  • The schools will also provide details of the fees structure and specify the division of categories. They will also specify the monthly fees, admission fee, development charges and building funds
  • The schools will update the details of the school sexual committee and its members online

Schools will also have to put details of the sexual harassment committee online and as well as details of members to be contacted in case of an emergency.

Several educationists and parents have applauded the move taken by the CBSE. "Although the CBSE has been sending circulars asking schools to make many of these facilities and fees more transparent, a majority of the schools do not comply with this. Making this mandatory is good as parents will be able to view all the details before admitting their children to school," said one concern parent.
