Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) is yet to clear 874 applications for secondary and higher secondary private schools, whose academic sessions are scheduled to begin from June 8.

According to GSHSEB official sources, the applications are pending since September last year. “The board had received 523 applications for secondary, 201 for higher secondary (general stream) and 150 for science stream schools, which find themselves in the doldrums as they are yet to get permission to start functioning, while the academic session is in June,” said an official.

“Students in those schools which had already admitted them without waiting for the permission are the worst affected, as they won’t be able to get admission elsewhere in the middle of academic session,” the official added.

“It’s a sheer negligence on the part of the board, which should’ve given the clearance in April itself. Clearance is given now is of no use as hardly any student will opt for these schools?” said Bhaskar Patel, Ahmedabad School Management Association president.

Meanwhile, in a meeting of its executive committee on Tuesday, the GSHSEB decided to grant permission to those schools which have fulfilled the board’s guidelines by next week
