&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right to Education (RTE) Act to ensure students from economically weaker sections (EWS) get 25 per cent reservation in admissions has left much to be desired at the ground level as far as execution is concerned.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Education officials have pointed out some loopholes that enable private schools to take it easy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the latest GR, flying squads have to be formed in every district to ensure schools comply with RTE provisions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The squads are constituted by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of every Zilla Parishad and have the powers to take action against schools violating any of the enabling provisions of the RTE Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But these squads hardly have any significance as they won&#039;t be able to take direct action against private schools, which are actually the ones that seem to be in the wrong lane when it comes to implementing RTE norms, officials said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The competent authority in case of ZP schools is CEO. Hence, whenever a school is found doing something against the fabric of the RTE, the CEO has the right vested in him to take action. In case of private schools, the competent authority is the school management,&amp;quot; said a top official from the education department, who did not wish to be named.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Hence whenever any private school is found violating RTE norms, the squads can write to the school management complaining about their work and ask them to take action,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether the management will take corrective action against its own members and teachers is anybody&#039;s guess,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Official records show Maharashtra has around 1 lakh primary and secondary schools run by local self-governing bodies and private managements.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has specifically pointed out that existing mechanism for inspection of schools as per laid down norms has failed to enhance quality of education.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;After 14 yrs what?&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mahavir Mane, Director, Primary Education, said there are other loopholes in the Act, too. &amp;quot;The law says free education until the age of 14. That means until around Class VIII, students will be protected by law, and hence do not have to pay fee. But what happens after that? Poor students will not have money to pay fee for further education and hence will have to drop out from expensive English medium schools after they turn 14. Hence research needs to be done about options for these kids and if any scholarships can be started by the government for such students,&amp;quot; said Mane.

&lt;br /&gt;
The Right to Education (RTE) Act to ensure students from economically weaker sections (EWS) get 25 per cent reservation in admissions has left much to be desired at the ground level as far as execution is concerned.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Education officials have pointed out some loopholes that enable private schools to take it easy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the latest GR, flying squads have to be formed in every district to ensure schools comply with RTE provisions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The squads are constituted by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of every Zilla Parishad and have the powers to take action against schools violating any of the enabling provisions of the RTE Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But these squads hardly have any significance as they won&#039;t be able to take direct action against private schools, which are actually the ones that seem to be in the wrong lane when it comes to implementing RTE norms, officials said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The competent authority in case of ZP schools is CEO. Hence, whenever a school is found doing something against the fabric of the RTE, the CEO has the right vested in him to take action. In case of private schools, the competent authority is the school management,&amp;quot; said a top official from the education department, who did not wish to be named.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Hence whenever any private school is found violating RTE norms, the squads can write to the school management complaining about their work and ask them to take action,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether the management will take corrective action against its own members and teachers is anybody&#039;s guess,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Official records show Maharashtra has around 1 lakh primary and secondary schools run by local self-governing bodies and private managements.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has specifically pointed out that existing mechanism for inspection of schools as per laid down norms has failed to enhance quality of education.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;After 14 yrs what?&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mahavir Mane, Director, Primary Education, said there are other loopholes in the Act, too. &amp;quot;The law says free education until the age of 14. That means until around Class VIII, students will be protected by law, and hence do not have to pay fee. But what happens after that? Poor students will not have money to pay fee for further education and hence will have to drop out from expensive English medium schools after they turn 14. Hence research needs to be done about options for these kids and if any scholarships can be started by the government for such students,&amp;quot; said Mane.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right to Education (RTE) Act to ensure students from economically weaker sections (EWS) get 25 per cent reservation in admissions has left much to be desired at the ground level as far as execution is concerned.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Education officials have pointed out some loopholes that enable private schools to take it easy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the latest GR, flying squads have to be formed in every district to ensure schools comply with RTE provisions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The squads are constituted by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of every Zilla Parishad and have the powers to take action against schools violating any of the enabling provisions of the RTE Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But these squads hardly have any significance as they won&#039;t be able to take direct action against private schools, which are actually the ones that seem to be in the wrong lane when it comes to implementing RTE norms, officials said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The competent authority in case of ZP schools is CEO. Hence, whenever a school is found doing something against the fabric of the RTE, the CEO has the right vested in him to take action. In case of private schools, the competent authority is the school management,&amp;quot; said a top official from the education department, who did not wish to be named.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Hence whenever any private school is found violating RTE norms, the squads can write to the school management complaining about their work and ask them to take action,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether the management will take corrective action against its own members and teachers is anybody&#039;s guess,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Official records show Maharashtra has around 1 lakh primary and secondary schools run by local self-governing bodies and private managements.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has specifically pointed out that existing mechanism for inspection of schools as per laid down norms has failed to enhance quality of education.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;After 14 yrs what?&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mahavir Mane, Director, Primary Education, said there are other loopholes in the Act, too. &amp;quot;The law says free education until the age of 14. That means until around Class VIII, students will be protected by law, and hence do not have to pay fee. But what happens after that? Poor students will not have money to pay fee for further education and hence will have to drop out from expensive English medium schools after they turn 14. Hence research needs to be done about options for these kids and if any scholarships can be started by the government for such students,&amp;quot; said Mane.

The Right to Education (RTE) Act to ensure students from economically weaker sections (EWS) get 25 per cent reservation in admissions has left much to be desired at the ground level as far as execution is concerned.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right to Education (RTE) Act to ensure students from economically weaker sections (EWS) get 25 per cent reservation in admissions has left much to be desired at the ground level as far as execution is concerned.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Education officials have pointed out some loopholes that enable private schools to take it easy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the latest GR, flying squads have to be formed in every district to ensure schools comply with RTE provisions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The squads are constituted by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of every Zilla Parishad and have the powers to take action against schools violating any of the enabling provisions of the RTE Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But these squads hardly have any significance as they won&#039;t be able to take direct action against private schools, which are actually the ones that seem to be in the wrong lane when it comes to implementing RTE norms, officials said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The competent authority in case of ZP schools is CEO. Hence, whenever a school is found doing something against the fabric of the RTE, the CEO has the right vested in him to take action. In case of private schools, the competent authority is the school management,&amp;quot; said a top official from the education department, who did not wish to be named.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Hence whenever any private school is found violating RTE norms, the squads can write to the school management complaining about their work and ask them to take action,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether the management will take corrective action against its own members and teachers is anybody&#039;s guess,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Official records show Maharashtra has around 1 lakh primary and secondary schools run by local self-governing bodies and private managements.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has specifically pointed out that existing mechanism for inspection of schools as per laid down norms has failed to enhance quality of education.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;After 14 yrs what?&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mahavir Mane, Director, Primary Education, said there are other loopholes in the Act, too. &amp;quot;The law says free education until the age of 14. That means until around Class VIII, students will be protected by law, and hence do not have to pay fee. But what happens after that? Poor students will not have money to pay fee for further education and hence will have to drop out from expensive English medium schools after they turn 14.

As per the latest GR, flying squads have to be formed in every district to ensure schools comply with RTE provisions.

The squads are constituted by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of every Zilla Parishad and have the powers to take action against schools violating any of the enabling provisions of the RTE Act.

Private schools use loopholes to wriggle out of RTE norms -Ardhra Nair

-The Indian Express The Right to Education (RTE) Act to ensure students from economically weaker sections (EWS) get 25 per cent reservation in admissions has left much to be desired at the ground level as far as execution is concerned. Education officials have pointed out some loopholes that enable private schools to take it easy. As per the latest GR, flying squads have to be formed in every district to ensure schools comply with RTE provisions. The squads are constituted by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of every Zilla Parishad and have the powers to take action against schools violating any of the enabling provisions of the RTE Act. But these squads hardly have any significance as they won't be able to take direct action against private schools, which are actually the ones that seem to be in the wrong lane when it comes to implementing RTE norms, officials said. "The competent authority in case of ZP schools is CEO. Hence, whenever a school is found doing something against the fabric of the RTE, the CEO has the right vested in him to take action. In case of private schools, the competent authority is the school management," said a top official from the education department, who did not wish to be named. "Hence whenever any private school is found violating RTE norms, the squads can write to the school management complaining about their work and ask them to take action," he said. "Whether the management will take corrective action against its own members and teachers is anybody's guess," he added. Official records show Maharashtra has around 1 lakh primary and secondary schools run by local self-governing bodies and private managements. The government has specifically pointed out that existing mechanism for inspection of schools as per laid down norms has failed to enhance quality of education. After 14 yrs what? Mahavir Mane, Director, Primary Education, said there are other loopholes in the Act, too. "The law says free education until the age of 14. That means until around Class VIII, students will be protected by law, and hence do not have to pay fee. But what happens after that? Poor students will not have money to pay fee for further education and hence will have to drop out from expensive English medium schools after they turn 14. Hence research needs to be done about options for these kids and if any scholarships can be started by the government for such students," said Mane.
