School affiliation is a partnership between a school and an educational board, wherein the school agrees to conform to the rules & regulations set by the board authority and in return the affiliating board provides specific support services & benefits to the school. In Indian education system, the primary and secondary education is looked upon by the state departments and such schools need to be either affiliated to the state board or some other board of education (CBSE, ICSE and IBO). The motive of these educational boards is to manage the school education and to conduct examinations for the school.
However, a school seeking affiliation needs to fulfill certain requirements. In case, you too are seeking affiliation for primary school, make sure that your school fulfills the following requirements.
- School must have the NOC issued by the state Department of Education.
The governing entity of school must be registered a Society/Trust under the respective Government’s Act. - The school land must be spread over an area of at least 2 acres, with a proper school building constructed on one part of the land and a playground on the remaining part.
- The classrooms must be constructed in a minimum area of 500 sq. ft.
