The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has taken a crucial decision to waive off the penalty imposed on schools for not updating data in the OASIS portal.
OASIS (Online Affiliated School Information System) is a system/platform created by the Board wherein CBSE affiliated schools are required to update certain information in order to keep them in the loop. However, the Board has decided to waive off the penalty considering the financial constraints of the schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation.
“It has been observed that many schools could not update the data in the OASIS portal due to lockdown owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The schools could not function continuously and therefore, there was an inordinate delay in updating the OASIS portal which caused financial penalty on the schools,” the CBSE said in a circular.
