RANCHI: The district superintendent of education (DSE) has decided to take strict action against theprivate schools that have not filed the application for recognition under the Right To Education (RTE) Act.

According to DSE Jayant Mishra, there are 626 private schools in the city. Of these, only 398 schools have applied to the education department for recognition under the RTE Act.

Mishra added, "A deadline of May 15 for filing the application has been issued to some schools failing which stern action will be taken against them."

As per the RTE Act, private schools must have their own land and admit 25% children from BPL families at the entry level. There is no specific deadline for the latter as admission is an ongoing process.

Besides, the schools must have a certain prescribed ratio of teachers and students along with playgrounds on the school premises. Private schools must have separate toilets for boys and girls along with a facility of ramp for differently-abled children.

Around 228 schools in the city are either unaware or simply do not care about RTE Act. These schools, mostly private unaided and affiliated to either Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE), have not submitted the self-declaration form for recognition, which has been made mandatory by the state government.

Mishra, however, added that the schools have already missed the first deadline of submission of application form that was March 31. If the schools fail to file the application within the due date, legal action will be taken and the schools will be derecognized from the coming academic year.
