Implementation of Textbooks published by JK BOSE by all the Private Schools affiliated with J&K BOSE.

It is hereby notified for information of all the stake holders that as per Board Act it is the mandate of J&K BOSE to prescribe the courses of instructions. prepare curriculum and also prescribe text books for the Primary. Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Schools. And it is mandatory for all the schools (Govt. as well as Private) to implement and prescribe the textbooks published by J&K BOSE for all the classes. But it has been observed that many private schools do not prescribe the textbooks published by J&K BOSE especially for Elementary and Middle classes. Instead these Private Schools prescribe textbooks from some private publishers which are sold to the students at exorbitant rates.

This practice of prescribing textbooks from different private publishers by different Private Schools results in non-uniformity in the curriculum being taught in schools across the UT of J&K which is a highly undesirable situation. Further, in recent past some controversial content was observed in some textbooks of private publishers prescribed by various Private Schools, which has been viewed seriously by the Govt.

Implementation of Textbooks published by JK BOSE by all the Private Schools – As such, it is enjoined upon all the private schools to ensure that in the first phase the textbooks published by J&K BOSE are implemented/ prescribed by all the Private Schools across UT of J&K for classes 6th to 8th from the ensuing academic session, failing which necessary action as warranted under rules shall be initiated against the defaulters.
