The UPA Govt has implemented a historical Right To Education Act 2009 from 01/04/09 in the whole country.
This is another good legislation crafted, just like RTI Act 2005 issued by this Govt previously.
This move of Govt is admirable and we should welcome such nice RTE Act.
Yet, there are some provisions which to be rectified with mutual understandings but this is the time to welcome and not to oppose the welfare nature of this ACT.
We are thankful to the whole team of Ministers and Officers who formulated this RTE Act 2010.
The fees can't be collected in Govt schools under this act and its Section 3 (1) and (2) of RTE clearly states that
3.(1) Every child of the age of six to fourteen years shall have a right to free and compulsory education in a neighbourhood school till completion of elementary education.
(2) For the purpose of sub-section (1) , no child shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or charge or expenses which may prevent him or her from pursuing and completing the elementary education.
The Govt MUST reimburse the PWF and PTA fund to its schools. Charging money from students in any form by any name is COMPLETE violation of this RTE Act.
The Govt is looking alert for the welfare of its public but is it true that its functionaries chore in same tune, too?
Black sheeps in the system should be marked.
We urge Respected Minister to take steps immediately against the odd tunes.
