The Manipur government had suspended three officials under the ZEO in connection with unauthorised issuance of NOCs for affiliation of schools to CBSE on January 12, after the CBSE cancelled the affiliation of 25 schools in Churachandpur and Kangpokpi districts on December 20, 2023.
The Joint Students’ Body (JSB), Lamka, Churachandpur stated that the lockdown was launched against the de-affiliation of 25 CBSE schools in Kangpokpi and Churachandpur districts and the suspension of three officials of the zonal education office.
CBSE affiliation to minority schools in Karnataka was introduced in the academic year 2022-23 in order to train the students for competitive exams like JEE, JEE Advance, and NEET, which would be a gateway to top higher education institutions in India.
