No detention till Class 5, says new draft policy on education 2016 -Jasleen Kaur

-Governance Now

The draft for the eagerly awaited new Education Policy recommends amendments in the right to free and compulsory education Act 2009. Among its specific recommendations are:
 
* The no detention policy must be continued for children until completion of class 5.

* At the upper primary level, the system of detention shall be restored subject to the provision of remedial coaching and at least two extra chances being offered to prove his capabilities to move to a higher class.

* Section 12(1)(c) of the Act, which deals with the right of children to free and compulsory education for children from economically weaker section, is a duty and legal obligation of all states to implement. Private schools and religious and linguistic minority schools should also not be exempted.

* Infrastructure norms for recognition of private schools should also be applied to government schools.

* States should be given flexibility to determine their own norms for infrastructure requirements consistent with local conditions.

* Significant stress needs to be given to sports and physical education as part of the schooling process.
