From a deeply personal and lived experience, the call for change within our educational system becomes more pronounced.

Dummy schools, although not officially recognized by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India, remain an essential point of academic focus for many students. The current policies disbar students from dummy schools from sitting board examinations, therefore placing them at a significant disadvantage.

The CBSE is responsible for regulating and supervising the system of intermediate and secondary education in India. It is an offshoot of the 'Ministry of Education', India, and functions to mold and optimize the learning capabilities of students across the nation. Nevertheless, its current stance on dummy schools needs rectification for a truly comprehensive learning environment to exist.

Dummy schools serve the unique needs of students who cannot conform to the regular timing and structural demands of conventional schooling. Often, these students are pursuing additional interests, such as sports and performing arts, that require substantial time commitment. The disbarment of these students is a clear restriction on their right to education.

This petition seeks to challenge the status quo and advocate for the CBSE to legalize dummy schools in India and permit its students to write board examinations. The aim is to create a more inclusive educational climate, where every student, irrespective of their individual circumstances, can thrive acadically.

Thus, we ask for your support to integrate dummy schools into the mainstream education system. Stand with us, sign the petition, and support our call for a fairer, more flexible education system in India.
