Parents stir in city over RTE admission delay in pvt schools
1 2 Jaipur: Hundreds of parents staged a protest outside the Shiksha Sankul Wednesday, demanding immediate admissions for students selected under the Right to Education (RTE) quota in private schools. Organised under the banner of Sanyukt Abhibhavak Sangh, the protest saw aggrieved parents asserting that despite more than 20 days since the start of the academic session, thousands of children who secured admission through the lottery system are yet to be enrolled. "My daughter was selected under RTE through the lottery, but the school is not completing the admission process. Almost one month of the session has passed, and there is still no clear response," said Naina Kotia, one of the protesting parents. "Private schools are citing Rajasthan High Court orders, while the school education department has been issuing instructions this month itself that admissions must be completed. Parents and students are caught in this tussle," she said. On July 17, Directorate of Primary Education had directed all district education officers to ensure that admissions under RTE were completed at the earliest. TNN
