Pune: Despite the academic year starting a month ago, the Pune Education Department has just announced a list of unauthorized schools. This delay has led to significant parental concerns about their children's future. In Pune, Pimpri, and surrounding areas, 49 schools have been identified as operating without proper authorization.
Ideally, the list of unauthorized schools should be published in April-May to prevent parents from enrolling their children in these institutions, thereby avoiding educational disruptions. However, the department has set a new precedent by releasing this list after the academic year has commenced.
This late announcement has caused confusion and frustration among parents, particularly since many of the listed schools are still operational. The list includes schools that have been on it for years, and there are questions about whether all remaining schools have the necessary permissions.
