The Rajiv Gandhi E-learning School, an ambitious project of the Pune Municipal Corporation that aims to provide free school education to poor students through e-learning, has failed to fulfil the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) norms for affiliation to the board.
A letter sent by CBSE states that if the school fails to implement the norms, the application sent by the school is liable to be rejected and the approval sought for middle school syllabus for the academic session 2012-13 will not be processed further.u00a0A few months ago, the school requested the CBSE for affiliation, following which the school was given time till June 20 to fulfil the norms.
In its letter sent to the school authorities, the CBSE pointed out that the school did not have a playground within its premises. The board also raised the issue of appointment of teachers in the school and mentioned that the school had not designated its teachers properly. It also instructed the school that it should purchase more books and CDs in its library and also appoint a trained librarian.
