Hundreds of State board schools function in Mumbai and this is where the majority of the population studies. The fees structure is comparatively lower here which makes it easier for parents to get them enrolled. The standard is at par with the others. Mumbai state board schools can be directly under the supervision of the state government or aided by the state government. Some of the best students of the city are a product of these schools. Mumbai State Board Schools also give a lot of importance to extra curricular activities and sports. They are huge in number and therefore accessible to the general public.
