Jaipur, January 3, 2026: Parents and students in Jaipur held a peaceful sit-in protest today, urging the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to reinstate the affiliation of a prominent local school that recently lost its accreditation. The demonstration drew widespread attention and highlighted ongoing concerns about the future of students’ education following the disaffiliation.
The protest took place in a central area of the city, where dozens of families gathered with placards and banners early in the morning. The demonstrators called on education authorities to review the decision and restore the school’s CBSE status, emphasizing the potential disruption to academic progress and student futures.
Calls for CBSE Reinstatement After Disaffiliation
According to protest participants, the school’s CBSE affiliation was revoked last month, creating uncertainty for hundreds of enrolled students. Parents said the sudden move could affect board exam preparations, future admissions, and academic continuity.
“We are here with our children because their education cannot be put on hold,” said one parent. “We respectfully request CBSE and the concerned authorities to reconsider and reinstate the school’s affiliation so our children’s studies remain uninterrupted.”
Students joined their parents at the sit-in, holding signs and voicing concerns about the impact of the affiliation withdrawal on their academic ambitions and college plans. Many students expressed anxiety about potential transfers to other schools mid-year and the stress associated with such changes.
Peaceful and Orderly Demonstration
Organisers stressed that the rally was intended to be peaceful and non-violent. Throughout the day, participants sat together, chanted slogans calling for action, and shared their testimonies with local media. Jaipur police maintained a presence to ensure law and order but did not intervene as the protest remained calm.
Representatives from the parents’ committee also submitted a formal petition to local education officials, outlining their demands and requesting expedited dialogue with CBSE authorities.
Broader Community Support
The protest drew attention from several community groups and resident welfare associations, many of whom voiced support for the cause on social media and through local networks. Educators and alumni of the affected school also attended the sit-in to show solidarity, stressing the institution’s role in the city’s educational landscape.
CBSE Yet to Respond
As of press time, CBSE officials had not issued an official statement regarding the protesters’ demands or any plans to reassess the school’s affiliation status. However, education department sources indicated that discussions between district officials and board representatives may be underway.
Parents and students vowed to continue peaceful advocacy until their concerns are addressed. “This is about our children’s future,” said another protester. “We only want clarity, fairness, and stability in their education.”
