The National Council of CBSE schools has handed over a memorandum to Union Human Resources Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank listing the problems faced by CBSE schools at both national and state level.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs V Muralidharan also attended the event.

The demands also include imparting refresher courses, assisting the teachers to upgrade their skills, reconsidering the new directions issued regarding the students' practicals and bringing in changes in the arts and culture sector.
