Mysuru: Two renowned CBSE schools in the city may lose their recognition as they failed to fulfill admission norms under Right to education (RTE) act.

Kautilya Vidyalaya in Datagalli and Jnanasarovar international school in Bhoogatahalli are listed in the category for dereognition and an FIR is likely to be filed against them for violating RTE guidelines. A requisition has been sent to the Directorate of education to prosecute the schools violating RTE norms by the District regulatory authority which comes under the Deputy Commissioner.

According to the Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) Basappa, schools are supposed allot 25% of the seats under RTE where as the two private CBSE schools have violated the RTE guidelines.

During the previous five academic years they have allotted only one seat under RTE during the years 2013 and 2014. They had given false information in the high court for not allotting seats under RTE. High court in its ruling two days ago had taken the Kautilya School to task and asked them to get back only after allotting the number of seats under RTE. The court had dismissed the school petition and favored the government stand.

Jnanodaya school management is trying to evade derecognition by quoting that their school being residential type, need not follow the guidelines. They also have said the admissions could not be made as the school is being shifting to new premises which authorities feel is a blatant lie. The authorities are likely to register an FIR in this case also.

The CBSE schools which fall under educations minister’s home territory are likely to lose recognition once the orders are received from the Directorate of education according to DDPI Basappa.
