Over 1,000 schools under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation may adopt a national accreditation framework to ensure checks on security, quality of education and infrastructural development.

During the committee meeting held on Thursday, Sainath Durge, a member of the BMC's education committee, suggested that schools under the civic body should take help from the National Accredition Board for Education and Training (NABET) to audit its schools in regular intervals. The move is aimed at improving the education standards of BMC schools.

"Over the last few years, concerns have been raised over issues with respect to safety, poor infrastructure and falling quality of education in civic schools. Having an accredition framework would be extremely useful to evaluate ones performance and do the right things to improve it " added Durge.

Durge's suggestion is still awaiting a final nod by the BMC.

Earlier this month, members of the education committee had taken up issues of fire safety and security compliance in the backdrop of the Kamala mills fire. With such a framework in place, Durge said that there would be a constant check on such mechanisms.

NABET is a constituent of the Board of Quality Council of India. Several schools across the country get themselves accredited by NABET. Some of the things that are tested in accredition process include infrastructure, student teacher ratio, safety measures, school performance etc.
