&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The
implementation of the Right to Education Act will lead to decongestion 
of classrooms as it lays down strict teacher-student ratio norms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;To ensure this 
provision is followed, the state government is planning to set up new 
buildings next to schools in which the teacher to student ratio is high.
The new aided schools will be built with funds provided, in large part,
by the Centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A state government 
official, on condition of anonymity, said, &amp;ldquo;The government is conducting
a survey to find out the number of schools in which the teacher-student
ratio is on the higher side. We will also have to study the feasibility
of the plan. In cities like Mumbai, where there is a major space 
crunch, the problem will be aggravated, and hence we will have to 
conduct a separate feasibility study for the city.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The RTE Act 
prescribes every school to maintain a teacher-student ratio of 1:30 in 
primary schools and 1:35 in upper primary schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Though the average 
ratio in the state is 1:45, according to department officials, these 
figures could be misleading. &amp;ldquo;There are some schools which follow the 
ratio strictly, but there are several others in which one classroom has 
more than 70 to 80 students. This is especially true in aided schools,&amp;rdquo; 
said the official.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He added, &amp;ldquo;Setting up
new infrastructure appears to be the best possible option. We are open 
to other ideas as well. For all infrastructure-related projects, we have
to get an approval from the Centre as it is the one responsible for 70%
of the funds required.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;PM Raut, 
vice-president of the Maharashtra School Managements&amp;rsquo; Association, had 
recently said, &amp;ldquo;To implement the RTE Act, the government first needs to 
ensure that schools have appropriate infrastructure. The government 
cannot just impose its recommendations under the pretext of RTE 
guidelines, it needs to be practical. If it wants the 1:30 ratio to be 
adhered to, it should first allow setting up of more divisions and 
provide grants for extra teachers.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The association is 
planning to discuss the matter in a high-level meeting with government 
officials on October 14 to discuss the various clauses of the RTE Act.&lt;br /&gt;

implementation of the Right to Education Act will lead to decongestion

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;To ensure this 
provision is followed, the state government is planning to set up new 
buildings next to schools in which the teacher to student ratio is high.
The new aided schools will be built with funds provided, in large part,
by the Centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A state government

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The RTE Act 
prescribes every school to maintain a teacher-student ratio of 1:30 in 
primary schools and 1:35 in upper primary schools.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Though the average 
ratio in the state is 1:45, according to department officials, these 
figures could be misleading. &amp;ldquo;There are some schools which follow the

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;PM Raut, 
vice-president of the Maharashtra School Managements&amp;rsquo; Association, had 
recently said, &amp;ldquo;To implement the RTE Act, the government first needs to 
ensure that schools have appropriate infrastructure. The government 
cannot just impose its recommendations under the pretext of RTE 
guidelines, it needs to be practical. If it wants the 1:30 ratio to be 
adhered to, it should first allow setting up of more divisions and 
provide grants for extra teachers.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The association is 
planning to discuss the matter in a high-level meeting with government 
officials on October 14 to discuss the various clauses of the RTE Act.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The
implementation of the Right to Education Act will lead to decongestion 
of classrooms as it lays down strict teacher-student ratio norms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;To ensure this 
provision is followed, the state government is planning to set up new 
buildings next to schools in which the teacher to student ratio is high.
The new aided schools will be built with funds provided, in large part,
by the Centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A state government 
official, on condition of anonymity, said, &amp;ldquo;The government is conducting
a survey to find out the number of schools in which the teacher-student

of the plan. In cities like Mumbai, where there is a major space 
crunch, the problem will be aggravated, and hence we will have to 
conduct a separate feasibility study for the city.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The RTE Act 
prescribes every school to maintain a teacher-student ratio of 1:30 in 
primary schools and 1:35 in upper primary schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Though the average 
ratio in the state is 1:45, according to department officials, these 
figures could be misleading. &amp;ldquo;There are some schools which follow the 
ratio strictly, but there are several others in which one classroom has 
more than 70 to 80 students. This is especially true in aided schools,&amp;rdquo; 
said the official.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He added, &amp;ldquo;Setting up

of the funds required.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;PM Raut, 
vice-president of the Maharashtra School Managements&amp;rsquo; Association, had 
recently said, &amp;ldquo;To implement the RTE Act, the government first needs to 
ensure that schools have appropriate infrastructure. The government 
cannot just impose its recommendations under the pretext of RTE 
guidelines, it needs to be practical. If it wants the 1:30 ratio to be 
adhered to, it should first allow setting up of more divisions and 
provide grants for extra teachers.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The association is

Maharashtra mulls more schools for RTE Act by Yogita Rao

Theimplementation of the Right to Education Act will lead to decongestion of classrooms as it lays down strict teacher-student ratio norms. To ensure this provision is followed, the state government is planning to set up new buildings next to schools in which the teacher to student ratio is high.The new aided schools will be built with funds provided, in large part,by the Centre. A state government official, on condition of anonymity, said, “The government is conductinga survey to find out the number of schools in which the teacher-studentratio is on the higher side. We will also have to study the feasibilityof the plan. In cities like Mumbai, where there is a major space crunch, the problem will be aggravated, and hence we will have to conduct a separate feasibility study for the city.” The RTE Act prescribes every school to maintain a teacher-student ratio of 1:30 in primary schools and 1:35 in upper primary schools. Though the average ratio in the state is 1:45, according to department officials, these figures could be misleading. “There are some schools which follow the ratio strictly, but there are several others in which one classroom has more than 70 to 80 students. This is especially true in aided schools,” said the official. He added, “Setting upnew infrastructure appears to be the best possible option. We are open to other ideas as well. For all infrastructure-related projects, we haveto get an approval from the Centre as it is the one responsible for 70%of the funds required.” PM Raut, vice-president of the Maharashtra School Managements’ Association, had recently said, “To implement the RTE Act, the government first needs to ensure that schools have appropriate infrastructure. The government cannot just impose its recommendations under the pretext of RTE guidelines, it needs to be practical. If it wants the 1:30 ratio to be adhered to, it should first allow setting up of more divisions and provide grants for extra teachers.” The association is planning to discuss the matter in a high-level meeting with government officials on October 14 to discuss the various clauses of the RTE Act.
