CBSE schools triple as board’s popularity grows across India

MUMBAI: The landscape of school education has for long promised a variety of options. Almost half-a-dozen school boards—local, national and international—offer Indian students a choice of academic algorithms for careers ahead. But of them all, CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education), which was largely designed for those who moved home and could not be loyal to a state board, is picking up popularity across the nation.

In 1996-97, there were 4,843 affiliated schools to the CBSE board, which has grown to 15,000 institutes now, with most of the growth coming from independent private schools, indicating the way the wind is blowing. While every year thousands of Indian parents find it tough to decide which board their child must sign up for, new school managements too face the same quandary when they start operations.
