Thane: The Secondary Education Department of the Thane Zilla Parishad issued a critical advisory on Monday, strongly urging parents to avoid enrolling their children in unauthorized and unrecognized schools across the district. The warning comes as the new academic year commences, with educational authorities ramping up scrutiny against institutions operating without mandatory government approvals.
Records, exams, admissions at stake
In its official release, the education department emphasized that choosing unaccredited schools poses a severe risk to the academic future of students. Authorities noted that enrollment in these blacklisted institutions could lead to major administrative complications, including the invalidation of academic records, lack of class promotion recognition, ineligibility for board examinations, and future admission barriers.
Strict Verification Urged
The Secondary Education Department has advised parents not to blindly trust aggressive marketing campaigns or infrastructural claims. Instead, they must proactively verify credentials before finalizing admissions.
"Every student has a fundamental right to quality and legally recognized education. It is imperative that parents verify government approvals, including the UDISE (Unified District Information System for Education) registration, before admitting their children. We will not compromise on the future of our students, and strict legal action is being initiated against defaulting managements," stated an official from the department.
District authorities have already ordered a thorough inspection of unauthorized establishments, initiating legal procedures against entities found operating without valid permissions. Furthermore, local citizens, Gram Panchayats, and School Management Committees (SMCs) have been requested to report any suspected illegal schools operating in their vicinities.
