Private Schools Asked To Follow JKBOSE Curriculum
In a separate circular, JKBOSE has directed all affiliated private schools in the Jammu Division to strictly follow the curriculum and textbooks prescribed by the board for Classes 1 to 12.
The circular states that the directive has been issued in continuation of earlier notifications from the Director Academics regarding the compulsory adoption of the JKBOSE curriculum.
According to the board, the provisions of the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education Act, 1975, along with the J&K School Education Rules, 2010, make it mandatory for every affiliated institution to implement the prescribed curriculum and textbooks.
Board Warns Of Action For Non-Compliance
JKBOSE has also cautioned that any deviation from the prescribed guidelines may lead to disciplinary action under board regulations. This could include penalties or other administrative measures against institutions that fail to comply.
The board further indicated that inspection teams may soon visit affiliated private schools across the Jammu Division to verify whether the approved curriculum and textbooks are being properly implemented in classrooms.
The move aims to ensure uniformity in academic standards and maintain consistency in the education system across schools affiliated with JKBOSE.
