What are the criteria?

♤ The NCMEI has issued a set of guidelines for the determination of minority status of educational institutions under Article 30.

♤ Effectively, there are two conditions that a school must fulfill in order to obtain minority status:

o Most of Board or trust members must belong to the minority community.

o It must declare explicitly that it has been established for the benefit of the minority community.

♤ The state authorities have prescribed similar criteria.
