In a stern but reformoriented observation following the shocking murder of a student at Seventh Day School in Ahmedabad, the Gujarat High Court has suggested that the school admit 10 per cent of students annually under the Right to Education (RTE) Act at nominal fees.

The court said this step should not only serve as a lesson from the incident but also as a way to give back to society.

Justice Mauna Bhatt, while hearing the petition filed by the school against a notice it had received, stressed that around 1,000 students could benefit from quality education through such an arrangement. "This incident should be an eyeopener, not just for this institution but for all educational establishments in the state," the judge observed.
