Govt not keen to implement RTE Act

February 15, 2025

Punjab, which was recently ranked among the best-performing states in compliance rate of infrastructure norms in elementary schools, has no plans to implement the provision of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which mandates 25% of seats for the children from economically weaker sections in private unaided schools.

- Navneet Sharma

CHANDIGARH:

The state government has been receiving petitions and requests from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and social activists for a review of its existing policy to comply with this legal provision. Union minister of education Jayant Chaudhary had also appealed to the governments of Punjab, Kerala, Telangana and West Bengal, in August last year to cooperate and reserve seats for underprivileged children in private schools under the RTE Act. Punjab is among the four states that have not reserved seats in private unaided schools.
