Sainik School Society has forwarded application forms to all such applicant schools which have registered themselves up to January 15.
The Ministry of Defence recently informed that a total of 194 schools have applied to get affiliation from the Sainik School Society. Last year in October, the Union Cabinet approved a proposal of setting up 100 affiliated Sainik Schools under the Sainik School Society in partnership with states, NGOs or private entities.
The ministry said, "These affiliated schools will function as an exclusive vertical which will be distinct and different from the existing Sainik Schools of the MoD (Ministry of Defence)," an official statement said. The aim of this initiative is to provide the Sainik School pattern of education to a larger cross-section of aspiring students all over the country.
"Sainik School Society has forwarded application forms to all such applicant schools which have registered themselves up to January 15," the official statement released by MoD said. So far, a total of 194 schools have registered themselves for this initiative. Once schools submit their application forms, their evaluation will be carried out by a School Evaluation Committee at the district level and the report will be submitted to the Sainik School Society by the last week of January, the MoD noted.
It further added that following Sainik Schools’ curriculum and activities will be followed by the schools approved by Sainik School Society from the next academic year (April 2022) onwards. This curriculum would be for students of Class 6 and above, it added.
The further statement added, “Other aspects of school management including training of teachers, implementation on of sports and other extra-curricular activities will be intimated separately to the approved schools.”
The MoD also informed that the newly approved schools would follow the philosophy of 'One School One Sport' to focus and excel in at least one sports discipline identified for that state where the school is situated.
