Action Against Maharashtra Schools Denying Admission: Education Minister

"Education is a fundamental right for every student and therefore the educational institution or the administration can not deprive the students for any given reason," the minister said.

Strict action will be taken against schools that deny students admission to online classes, withhold their results and prevent them from appearing in exams, Maharashtra School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad said. No school can deny education, which is a fundamental right, the minister said. प्रत्येक विद्यार्थ्याचा शिक्षण हा मूलभूत अधिकार असून शिक्षण संस्था व व्यवस्थापक विद्यार्थ्यांना शिक्षणापासून कुठल्याही कारणास्तव वंचित ठेऊ शकत नाहीत. #RightToEducation “Education officials have been instructed to take stern action by de-recognizing illegal schools in case of any complaints regarding denial of admission to online classes, expulsion from school, withholding of results, and non-examination,” Ms Gaikwad said.
