In pursuance to the reference cited, all the Deputy Educational Officers, Deputy Inspector of Schools and Mandal Educational Officers in the District are informed that the Commissioner of School Education, A.P., Amaravathi has issued the following instructions for closure of unecognized schools and prohibit the talent tests. that they are aware that the permission for establishment of schools under private managements and their regulations are governed as per the rules issued in the G.Os 1st and 2nd read above.
In the rules, it was made clear that all the educational institutions should necessarily have proper permission (recognition) from the competent authority. No educational society should be allowed to function without permission to start from the appropriate authority. Further, there is also an opportunity to make an application with penalty up to the end of April of the academic year, in which the educational society wishes to start a school. However, it is noticed that several un-recognized educational institutions under private managements are mushrooming in certain areas of the state, pointing to the lack of proper surveillance. Such un-recognized schools are admitting children with connived propaganda. As per U-DISE 2016-17 around 335 un-recognized schools are functioning in the state and, no ground, the figure would be more.
The Right to Education Act-2009 too prohibits the existence of un-recognized schools. Keeping in view welfare of the students, existence of such schools is a need to be curtailed instantaneously.

Any deviations in this regard are punishable under the Section 13(2)(b) of the RTE Act with fme, which may extend to Rs:25,000/- for the first contravention and Rs:50,000/- for each subsequent contravening admission.
Besides, the Honble High Court while dismissing the Writ Petition No.1l4/2011, filed by a private management for conducting talent test, advised the Department to initiate action prohibiting the school managements from conducting talent tests under any name.
