New Delhi Board Of School Education? | The Delhi Chief Minister on Saturday announced that a certain number of Delhi government-run schools will soon be de-affiliated from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and be affiliated to a new and upcoming Delhi Board of School Education in the academic year 2021-2022.

While presenting the 2020 annual budget for Delhi, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had announced that the government was setting aside Rs 62 crore for a separate state board of education. And now, this project might soon be taken off the ground, starting from the upcoming academic year.

The 1,000+ schools under the Delhi government, which had been affiliated to CBSE till now, might soon start getting integrated into the new board of education in batches of 20-25 government schools.
