Striving to ensure 25% seats for poor in private schools, say officials
The School Education Department in the State is working on the modalities for implementing reservation of 25% seats in private schools for children belonging to the Economically Weaker Sections as stipulated by the Right to Education (RTE) Act, from the next academic year.
Sources in the department said that a meeting held recently and attended by all the allied departments, discussed threadbare key aspects like identification of the beneficiary children, collection of the data and the cost incurred by the State government on each child’s education. “We have asked the IT wing to develop a web portal for the purpose,” said an official.
