Mandatory for schools to submit low attendance report to CBSE

NEW DELHI: Schools affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will now have to submit low attendance details of students to CBSE. The final decision over the same will then be taken by the board in accordance with the bye-laws.

A report released by the board officials indicated students with low attendance showed poor performance in examinations. This led to CBSE creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to deal with students having short attendance.

According to Rule 13 of the Examination Bye-laws of the board, there is a specified attendance requirement for students in order to be eligible to appear for class X and XII examinations of the CBSE. Similarly, Rule 14 of the Examination Bye-laws specifies the percentage of attendance required.

“It was observed that parents, students and schools are not following rules strictly. While students were not submitting desired documents and certificates of the competent authority while seeking exemption in attendance, schools are not sending all cases of short attendance to CBSE,” a senior board official said.

“The SOP has been created by the board for dealing with students having lower than prescribed percentage of attendance for the information and compliance by schools, students and parents. All the schools affiliated with CBSE have been requested to communicate information and rule position to students and parents,” the official said.
