&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;BANGALORE: &lt;/em&gt;Child Rights and You (CRY) held a &amp;ldquo;Public Hearing&amp;rdquo; on equal education to all here on Friday, as part of their nationwide campaign inviting people to sign a charter to the Government asking for three amendments to the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The charter demands that children below six years, as well as between 15 to 18 years are included in the main provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. It states that the Act should ensure there is a school with qualified teachers and proper facilities within a kilometre of any habitation. Another demand is that 10 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s Gross Domestic Product be allotted to education.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to Regina Thomas, Director of CRY, the Act has several gaps that will result in unequal access to the fundamental rights of children. By garnering public support for the charter, CRY hopes to bring the Government&amp;rsquo;s attention to the need for the amendment of the Act. &amp;ldquo;We have already finished the public hearing in Kerala, and we will be conducting it in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh after the one in Karnataka,&amp;rdquo; she said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The signed charter will be presented to the Governors of the respective States over the next month, and at the final public hearing in Delhi on December 11 &amp;mdash; which is the anniversary of the day India ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child &amp;mdash; it will be given to President Pratibha Patil. &amp;ldquo;We hope to collect half a million signatures from across the country,&amp;rdquo; she added.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;At the public hearing, the children said they had to drop out of school for various reasons such as poverty and bad quality of education, discrimination against the Dalit students, and owing to inadequate facilities in anganwadi schools. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The panel listening to the hearing included C.K. Dwarakanath, Chairperson, Backward Classes Commission Karnataka, Mathew Philips, Director, South India Cell for Human Rights Education and Monitoring and Nandini of Action Aid. &lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;&lt;em&gt;BANGALORE: &lt;/em&gt;Child Rights and You (CRY) held a &amp;ldquo;Public Hearing&amp;rdquo; on equal education to all here on Friday, as part of their nationwide campaign inviting people to sign a charter to the Government asking for three amendments to the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;The charter demands that children below six years, as well as between 15 to 18 years are included in the main provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. It states that the Act should ensure there is a school with qualified teachers and proper facilities within a kilometre of any habitation. Another demand is that 10 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s Gross Domestic Product be allotted to education.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;According to Regina Thomas, Director of CRY, the Act has several gaps that will result in unequal access to the fundamental rights of children. By garnering public support for the charter, CRY hopes to bring the Government&amp;rsquo;s attention to the need for the amendment of the Act. &amp;ldquo;We have already finished the public hearing in Kerala, and we will be conducting it in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh after the one in Karnataka,&amp;rdquo; she said. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;The signed charter will be presented to the Governors of the respective States over the next month, and at the final public hearing in Delhi on December 11 &amp;mdash; which is the anniversary of the day India ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child &amp;mdash; it will be given to President Pratibha Patil. &amp;ldquo;We hope to collect half a million signatures from across the country,&amp;rdquo; she added.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;At the public hearing, the children said they had to drop out of school for various reasons such as poverty and bad quality of education, discrimination against the Dalit students, and owing to inadequate facilities in anganwadi schools. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;The panel listening to the hearing included C.K. Dwarakanath, Chairperson, Backward Classes Commission Karnataka, Mathew Philips, Director, South India Cell for Human Rights Education and Monitoring and Nandini of Action Aid. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;BANGALORE: &lt;/em&gt;Child Rights and You (CRY) held a &amp;ldquo;Public Hearing&amp;rdquo; on equal education to all here on Friday, as part of their nationwide campaign inviting people to sign a charter to the Government asking for three amendments to the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The charter demands that children below six years, as well as between 15 to 18 years are included in the main provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. It states that the Act should ensure there is a school with qualified teachers and proper facilities within a kilometre of any habitation. Another demand is that 10 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s Gross Domestic Product be allotted to education.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to Regina Thomas, Director of CRY, the Act has several gaps that will result in unequal access to the fundamental rights of children. By garnering public support for the charter, CRY hopes to bring the Government&amp;rsquo;s attention to the need for the amendment of the Act. &amp;ldquo;We have already finished the public hearing in Kerala, and we will be conducting it in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh after the one in Karnataka,&amp;rdquo; she said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The signed charter will be presented to the Governors of the respective States over the next month, and at the final public hearing in Delhi on December 11 &amp;mdash; which is the anniversary of the day India ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child &amp;mdash; it will be given to President Pratibha Patil. &amp;ldquo;We hope to collect half a million signatures from across the country,&amp;rdquo; she added.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;At the public hearing, the children said they had to drop out of school for various reasons such as poverty and bad quality of education, discrimination against the Dalit students, and owing to inadequate facilities in anganwadi schools. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The panel listening to the hearing included C.K. Dwarakanath, Chairperson, Backward Classes Commission Karnataka, Mathew Philips, Director, South India Cell for Human Rights Education and Monitoring and Nandini of Action Aid. &lt;br /&gt;

CRY on a signature campaign to bring amendments to Act

BANGALORE: Child Rights and You (CRY) held a “Public Hearing” on equal education to all here on Friday, as part of their nationwide campaign inviting people to sign a charter to the Government asking for three amendments to the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. The charter demands that children below six years, as well as between 15 to 18 years are included in the main provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. It states that the Act should ensure there is a school with qualified teachers and proper facilities within a kilometre of any habitation. Another demand is that 10 per cent of India’s Gross Domestic Product be allotted to education. According to Regina Thomas, Director of CRY, the Act has several gaps that will result in unequal access to the fundamental rights of children. By garnering public support for the charter, CRY hopes to bring the Government’s attention to the need for the amendment of the Act. “We have already finished the public hearing in Kerala, and we will be conducting it in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh after the one in Karnataka,” she said. The signed charter will be presented to the Governors of the respective States over the next month, and at the final public hearing in Delhi on December 11 — which is the anniversary of the day India ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child — it will be given to President Pratibha Patil. “We hope to collect half a million signatures from across the country,” she added. At the public hearing, the children said they had to drop out of school for various reasons such as poverty and bad quality of education, discrimination against the Dalit students, and owing to inadequate facilities in anganwadi schools. The panel listening to the hearing included C.K. Dwarakanath, Chairperson, Backward Classes Commission Karnataka, Mathew Philips, Director, South India Cell for Human Rights Education and Monitoring and Nandini of Action Aid.
