Private schools object to RTE provisions

Society for Unaided Private Schools of Rajasthan proposed amendment of various provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 on Monday.

The society submitted its objection to the drafted rules to the commissioner of Rajasthan Parambhik Shiksha Parishad at Shiksha Sankul.

It said private schools should not be given additional responsibility for providing free text books to the children of reserved category. The society also opposed Part 25 of Rule 2 of RTA, under which girls should be included in the 'disadvantaged group' and will get 25% reservation.

"Those from privileged group will take away the share of children belonging to real disadvantaged group," said Damodar Goyal, chairman, SUPSR.

He also argued against the provision that defines weaker section children as those who belong to a BPL family. "This doesn't define the BPL family either. The Act should have a clause under which BPL family having a BPL card from a competent authority can avail of the benefit," said Goyal. The society said it should be allowed to fill the reserve category seats with students from general category after a certain time period so that the schools do not incur revenue losses.

It also objected to Part 5 of Rule 5 which states that local authority shall ensure that names of all children enrolled in the schools under its jurisdiction must be displayed at the notice board of each school. It argued that schools will require a lot of space to display the names of all students. "It will not serve any purpose rather could be used by some miscreant to gather information about a child," said Goyal.

The state government had released the drafted rules and asked for suggestions from concerned parties. The government will consider the suggestions before finalising the rules for this Act. Few provisions of the Act had been in place since April 1, 2010.
