Administrator says Ryan’s CBSE affiliation should not be cancelled
NEWDELHI: The affiliation of Ryan International School is unlikely to be cancelled as the school administrator had told the CBSE in a report that it had taken all corrective measures to ensure safety of students at the premises.
“The CBSE had issued a show cause to the school, pointing out several deficiencies. We have submitted a report to the CBSE on November 6 and pointed out that as all the deficiencies highlighted by them have been corrected, the affiliation of the school should not be cancelled,” said Vinay Pratap Singh, Gurgaon deputy commissioner (DC), told HT.
The Gurgaon DC took charge as the administrator in September after the Haryana government had said it would take over the school management for three months until the situation normalises. On September 17, the CBSE had issued a show cause to the school, asking why its recognition should not be cancelled as it had pointed out negligence on the part of the school after the Class 2 student’s death.
The CBSE probe team said no attendant was posted at the toilet where the boy was found dead, surveillance cameras were not working and boundary walls were not high enough among other loopholes.
Sources said the CBSE has so far not taken any action against the school though it issued the show cause in September.
A CBSE spokesperson said they had received the report and were examining it. “We are examining the report and will take action accordingly,” said a CBSE spokesperson.
Though the report received by the CBSE ruled out scrapping recognition of the school, the CBSE is competent to take independent action on the school too, sources said.
