Can a CBSE affiliated school take franchise of another school brand?
There are two points one can uinderstand from this question.
- School is already affiliated to CBSE and now you are looking for franchisee. In this case my reply, Yes you can take, but school name will change after taking franchisee. So, this is case of a school name change because once you take any franchisee you need to change the school name on papers. As per new CBSE Bye-Laws there is provision of “Permission of name change of school/society (As per status of school)” for which anyone can apply. You need to prepare necessary documents before you apply. For more details please check the latest CBSE Bye laws.
- Else, If you are going to start a New School with Franchisee name, then you have to go with the normal process of affiliation, which will be considered as fresh Affiliation like any normal school.
