CBSE must explain why it missed the background check of Coempt Edu Tech: KTR

BRS working president KT Rama Rao said the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) must explain why it ignored the background check of Coempt Edu Tech, which was earlier operating as Globarena Technologies in Telangana with questionable track record.

He extended his support to Class XII students who fought against the CBSE marks fiasco and demanded accountability from those in positions of power for the controversy surrounding the Online Screening and Marking (OSM) system.

Mr. Rama Rao pointed out that Globarena, which is at the center of the current CBSE marks fiasco, was the same organization that was responsible for the 2019 Telangana Intermediate results debacle.

“It is unfortunate that Globarena, which messed up Telangana Intermediate results 2019, seems to have only changed its name and secured an even bigger contract from CBSE only to create much more chaos affecting students across the country,” he said.

Recalling the steps taken by the then BRS government in Telangana, he said the government acted swiftly and responsibly after the interim results fiasco. Based on the findings of a three-member committee set up to investigate the issue, the concerned officials were removed from their posts and legal action was initiated against Globarena.

“It is shocking that CBSE seems to have repeatedly modified rules and procedures to accommodate a highly incompetent organization. Such decisions are now jeopardizing the future of millions of students,” he said.

“The Union Government must be held accountable for this mess. The Education Minister must explain how a company with such a track record was entrusted with a critical responsibility regarding the future of millions of students,” he asked.
