The New Indian Express Thrissur
|August 07, 2025
IN a significant directive aimed at ensuring educational rights for vulnerable children, the Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered all states to include orphans within the ambit of the 25% quota for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.
The Court also directed states to conduct a survey of orphaned children denied school admission and provide reasons for the denial.
A Bench comprising Justices BV Nagarathna and KV Viswanathan said, "States must issue notifications within four weeks bringing orphaned children under Section 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act," which mandates free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years in private unaided schools.
