If you have your child admitted to a CBSE school, you would now be asked to sign an undertaking, confirming the particulars provided for the school records.
This declaration, which will be on the backside of the mark sheet cum certificate, is an effort to avoid a large number of requests from students about correcting these details in the mark sheet – even years after completion of class X and XII board exams.
The CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) will soon supply the new mark sheets carrying the declaration to schools for distribution to parents and students.
The parents will be called to the school and made to sign the undertaking. Principals will also have to attest the declaration, as communicated from CBSE Controller of Examination Sanyam Bhardwaj.
Likewise, parents will have to sign an undertaking in the board exam admit card too. With these two steps, CBSE will be able to ensure accuracy in all the documents, Sanyam had written.
Though the personal details are asked for two-three times a year, still mistakes are found in spellings and initials. With this undertaking, parents will have to check for the accuracy of details right away, Sanyam pointed out.
Reiterating that a few parents seek corrections in the mark sheet even years after their children had completed school education, Sahodaya group of CBSE schools welcomed this decision.
“The decision is great for CBSE as they can avert the requests for issuance of new report cards with change in spellings, names, etc, but it also increases the burden of calling parents for schools,” Sahodaya group president said.
Keeping themselves on the safer side, schools had been asking for signature and verification from parents through students. “Ideally, parents should be careful while writing particulars when admitting the child to school, but still we have to verify during filling of class X and class XII board examination forms,” group representative said.
Calling parents and getting them to come to school for undertaking is a tedious task as many parents find it an unnecessary botheration, stated the representative.
“We need parents to be more responsible and we are trying to teach children to become more responsible when it comes to work, because addition of verification is not a necessary solution,” noted the group.
