Gurgaon: Now, extension for private schools to apply for recognition

The state government in Gurgaon has granted an extension to private school operators to prepare for permanent recognition. The schools now have until March 31, 2024 to meet all the requirements. The government has also agreed to provide a discount on the bond amount for schools currently running in one or two-storey buildings. Initially, 1,154 schools were granted temporary affiliation for two years, with the condition that they fulfill the requirements for permanent affiliation or risk forfeiting the bond amount. The changes in conditions had sparked protests from private school operators.
