Can CBSE Schools force parents to buy textbooks books, uniforms, and stationery from the school?
CBSE schools are not permitted to force the parents to purchase stationery, uniform, or textbooks from the institution. The CBSE has released a number of regulations with the goal of promoting justice and openness in how schools are run. Parents have the freedom to choose where to purchase textbooks, uniforms, and stationery from. Schools should not enforce a monopoly on these items. Parents should be given the option to purchase these items from external sources if they prefer.
Circular Number 2018/1393058/08/2018 dated 2nd June 2018 clearly instructs the school that the school can have a tuck shop for the ease of the parents but can’t force the parents to purchase compulsorily from the tuckshop only. Even the school can’t decide a single vendor to sell the textbooks books, uniforms, and stationery to the parents. There have to be multiple vendors. The link to the circular is given below.

12 个月They're also pushing for stationary items that are overpriced, and we're unsure of how many items will be included. It's been mentioned that they'll be given out in class, but we don't know when. This time, I declined to take the stationary, and the response I received was to return all the items as well. They said you can't buy the items without purchasing the stationary. I've written to the Principal about this issue with the bookstore's attitude, and I'm still awaiting her resolution on the matter.

1 年Not only CBSE but also ICSE, State board etc ensure that books are to be purchased from their stated source only. Too many publishers push schools to purchase books thereby giving cash benefits to schools. For these monetarily gain scools enforce extremely expensive books to be bought.
