All the affiliated schools should undertake self-assessment on SQAA Portal every year between April 1 to December 31
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released School Quality Assessment and Assurance (SQAA) Framework to catalyse transformational change in its affiliated schools. The Board has decided to implement SQAA for all its affiliated schools from the Session 2023- 2024 while applying for fresh affiliation/switch over/upgradation/extension of schools.
All the affiliated schools should undertake self-assessment on SQAA Portal every year between April 1 to December 31. The self-assessment submitted by the school on the SQAA Portal would be valid for a period of one year.
The SARAS portal would be accepting applications for affiliation/switch over/upgradation/extension for the session 2024-25. The schools would be required to complete self-assessment on SQAA Portal and then submit application on SARAS Portal on or before the last day of receipt of applications.
Standards have been prepared in different areas of school functioning like curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, infrastructure, inclusive practices, human resources, management and governance, leadership and beneficiary satisfaction against which the schools can assess themselves for quality interventions.
Meanwhile, the board has made modifications in the affiliation by-laws as per National Curriculum Framework. The schools need to enhance infrastructure in terms of class rooms and other requirements to implement the classes of the foundational stage.
