Licenses to Open a School: It’s All About Money
Published By: CCS on eSS | Published Date: July, 07 , 2001In Delhi, 14 lakh children are out of school. So why is there a shortfall in the supply of
schools? Does the government help to better the situation? Why or Why not? In the
light of these mind-boggling questions, let us examine the restrictions imposed on
opening a school in Delhi. Opening a private school is a mind-numbing task; it
involves a colossal amount of paperwork. An applicant faces a four-pronged attack by
the Directorate of Education (DoE), the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE),
the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), and the Delhi Development Authority
(DDA); making the procedure to open and operate a school financially expensive and
time consuming.[Working Paper No. 0001]
