Raipur: The Chhattisgarh government Wednesday instructed private schools in
the state to take steps to reserve one-fourth of their total seats
for the Scheduled Tribes (ST), Scheduled Castes (SC) and socially
backward classes under the Right to Education law.
"In order to ensure strict following of the Right to Education
Act, 2009, the private schools across the state have been
instructed to keep 25 percent of their seats reserved for the ST,
SC and socially backward classes," an official statement said.
The order was issued as reports from several areas said that
private schools are reluctant to honour the Right to Education of
these socially weaker sections or admit these students from Class
one to eight. These schools were also denying admissions to
students aged between 6-14 years, an official from the education
department told IANS.
The government has also decided to launch a high-voltage publicity
campaign for the RTE that provides for free and compulsory
education to children between 6 and 14 years, so that maximum
number of students belonging to weaker sections and disadvantaged
groups can access education.
