335 UP Board schools to lose recognition over zero enrollment
Prayagraj: In a major move aimed at improving the quality and effectiveness of education in the state, the Uttar Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (UP Board) has planned to revoke the recognition of 335 schools due to zero student enrollment over the past three years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These schools will receive notices to explain their situation, and if no valid reasons are provided, their recognition will be withdrawn. The UP Board had granted recognition to these schools, but they failed to attract students and didn't have any candidates for High School and Intermediate exams. To optimize resource allocation and ensure schools serve their designated areas, the UP Board is revoking recognition. This process is expected to conclude before the 2026 board exams. UP Board Secretary Bhagwati Singh said that strict action would be taken according to the rules against these non-functional schools. This move follows a similar effort in Dec 2022, when former secretary Dibyakant Shukla identified 178 schools with zero enrolment and served notices, leading to the cancellation of their recognition. Additionally, schools where mass cheating was detected during the 10th and 12th board exams may also face revocation of recognition. The Uttar Pradesh Public Examination (Prevention of Malpractices) Act, 2024, introduced tougher penalties, and the first board exams under this act were conducted in 2025. In another significant development, the UP Board granted recognition to 32 new unaided secondary schools across the state. Some of these schools have been approved for additional classes and subjects. The UP Board's recognition committee earlier sent proposals for 41 schools, out of which nine were not granted recognition. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This recognition is for the 2027 academic year, and registration for students in these schools has already begun. Prior to this, 87 unaided schools were granted recognition on June 25, 2025. Teachers' Union seeks revocation of online attendance rule A delegation from the Thakurai faction of the Secondary Teachers' Union submitted a memorandum to secretary Bhagwati Singh, demanding the revocation of the recent order regarding online attendance for teachers in UP Board schools. The union, led by state general secretary Lalmani Dwivedi, requested that the order issued on June 30 be rescinded. If the board does not comply, the union will hold a meeting on July 27 to decide the next course of action. The online attendance mandate has raised concerns among teachers, especially in rural areas where internet connectivity is poor.

Mandatory online attendance for teachers and students: UP Board teachers oppose move, lack of tech infra blamed
Teachers are up in arms against the recent initiative of the UP Board wherein it has introduced mandatory online attendance of teachers and students in its over 28,000 affiliated secondary schools from this academic session. Delegation of teachers handing over a memorandum to Up Board secretary Bhagwati Singh in Prayagraj (HT Photo) Though UP Board officials seem determined to continue with the system in interest of ensuring transparent accountability, a delegation from the Thakurai faction of the UP Secondary Teachers' Association has submitted a memorandum to UP Board secretary Bhagwati Singh demanding the withdrawal of the directive mandating online attendance in UP Board schools. The teachers argue that a majority of secondary schools in the state are located in rural and remote areas, where uninterrupted power supply and reliable internet connectivity are often unavailable. Moreover, most schools lack the necessary infrastructure and devices required to implement such a system effectively. Under these conditions, recording the daily attendance, absence, or leave status of thousands of students is both impractical and unfeasible, said the principal of a UP Board-affiliated intermediate school in Prayagraj. The online attendance system recently imposed has not been implemented at the Uttar Pradesh Board headquarters, its five regional offices, or at the district, divisional, or state-level offices of the state education department, pointed out Lalmani Dwivedi, state general secretary of UP Secondary Teachers' Association (Thakurai faction), who led the delegation. In secondary schools across the state, teachers' attendance is already being recorded through attendance registers and biometric systems, while students' attendance is documented in registers. Introducing a third method of attendance is unnecessary, impractical, and a waste of time and effort. Moreover, under the Intermediate Education Act of 1921, the UP Board secretary does not hold the authority to make decisions regarding the service conditions of teachers. Therefore, this decision is in violation of both established rules and jurisdiction, maintained Dwivedi. If the order is not withdrawn, the organisation will make a decision on the matter in its meeting scheduled for July 27.
