The Central Board of Secondary Education is all set to ensure that any school wanting to be armed with CBSE affiliation should know how to be a technology-friendly institution first. The CBSE wants schools to turn net-savvy so as to keep pace with its own change in style of working. So to apply for CBSE affiliation from November 2005 year, the schools will be able to contact CBSE only "online''.But as far as keeping a tab on the inspection committee report or for that matter even making individual queries and comments that the Board might have about a school, the schools will still have the option to either be online or go through the earlier paper way. The CBSE believes the new mechanism will make the schools open to the idea of introducing new technology and this will gradually usher in computer education in most of the educational institutions that seek its affiliation. "This will gradually make computer education an integral part of the schools' own functioning,'' said a senior official.
