Taking serious note of inadequate staff and other irregularities, Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) has cancelled affiliation of six self-financed schools in Rajkot and slapped a fine of Rs 25,000 on four other non-granted schools.
 
The board had carried out random survey in as many as 12 non-granted schools in the district on March 27, after the school authorities expressed inability to provide staff for assessing papers of class 10th and 12th, board secretary M I Joshi, in his letter to the District Education Officer (DEO), said.
 
Before cancelling the affiliation, the board had issued show cause notice to the schools and following their reply the board decided to cancell their affiliation, sources said.
 
Besides, during the survey the board officials also found irregularities in payments made to teachers and the school authorities failed to maintain service book and student's register.
