Srinagar, Mar 30: The Director of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) on Saturday cancelled the recognition of a private school in Budgam for not ‘cooperating and implementing’ orders from competent authorities.
In an official order, Director of School Education Kashmir stated that Chief Education Officer Budgam has intimated that the inquiry committee constituted by him approached the school management for ascertaining factual positions, but the concerned school management kept the inquiry officers along with CEO Budgam waiting from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on February 24, 2024.
"The CEO Budgam has also intimated that the concerned school management provided documents and material not up to mark and without seal and signature, due to which the committee could not ascertain the factual position owing to the non-cooperation of the school management," Order said.
It said that the Principal BHSS Budgam (Departmental Representative) has informed us that the school management of the concerned school has not shown any inclination towards considering or implementing suggestions and has never taken the departmental representative on board for the official business of the school till date, which is mandatory as per standing norms.
"Both the officers, via the above-mentioned references, have recommended strict action be taken against the Foundation World School, Mamat, Budgam," the order said.
It is further said that it has been frequently observed that the management of Foundation World School, Mamat, Budgam, does not implement the instructions issued by competent authorities from time to time, thus reflecting an anarchist and rebellious attitude of the school management.
"The delinquent attitude exhibited by the management of Foundation World School, Mamat, Budgam, is highly objectionable and has been taken seriously by the undersigned," the order said.
It reads that the persistent delinquency by the school authorities necessitates immediate action to be initiated against the institution;
DSEK further stated in an order that, therefore, in view of the above, the Recognition Order No. RECO000029, dated November 23, 2021, issued in favour of the said school, is hereby withdrawn with immediate effect.
