^^This is hardly the first ill-conceived govt program that UPA has come up with and unfortunately it won't be the last. This govt seems to believe that throwing money (which they don't have) and passing legislation would solve the problems on the ground.
 
Supreme Court has erred

I accept the verdict but this judgment opens a can of worms.If the govt can force a private individual to accept quota then what is the limit.NOw a private teacher cannot give tutions after school hours.Isnt it violates life and liberty.Are we in a communist state?.

Now middle class parents will pay for poor.Isnt it extortion?.


"The Supreme Court has made a huge mistake in exempting ‘unaided’ minority schools from reserving 25 per cent of their seats for students from the socially and economically backward sections of society, even though it has directed that other private ‘unaided’ institutions will have to implement that quota. This is a clear case of miscarriage of justice, because what is applicable to one unaided school should be applicable to another, even if it is a minority institution. After all, the social responsibility towards the weaker sections of society lies with minority unaided schools as much as it does with other private unaided institutions. It is this obvious need to balance out justice that has led one of the judges of the three-judge Bench which upheld on Thursday the constitutional validity of the Right to Education Act, 2009, to disagree. In his dissent note, Justice KS Radhakrishnan has effectively maintained that all private unaided schools should be exempted from reserving the seats.

Moreover, this order flies in the face of an earlier verdict by the Supreme Court in August 2005 that unaided non-minority institutions had the right to admit students of their choice in medicine, engineering and other professional courses, and that the Government could not interfere. The order had come in the backdrop of the Union Government’s move to enforce the quota for Other Backward Classes even in professional institutions that are unaided and privately managed. If the Supreme Court believed then that professional unaided private colleges should be left to decide on the kind of students they want to admit, why should the same court now direct that similarly unaided private schools be shackled by the Government’s ill-considered directive to reserve seats?""

I hope it is appealed to a full bench.

MAIL TODAY COMMENT: Unfair to put burden of RTE on private schools | Mail Online
 
Can a couple, earning Rs 30 lakh per annum as salary between them, demand admission and free education for their child in a neighbourhood school under the 'weaker section' category as per the Right To Education (RTE) Act?

Couple with Rs 30L pay seek free schooling - Times Of India


Four children have been forced to attend their school here in humiliation after the private institution allegedly cut off tufts of hair on top of their heads. This was done to reportedly distinguish these children, admitted under the Right to Education (RTE) quota, from other students. This shocking fact was disclosed here on Tuesday.

According to the parents of these children, all in standard I in the school at Nandini Layout, the children admitted under the RTE quota are made to stand separately during the assembly and their lunch boxes are checked before they enter their class. They allege that the names of their wards have not been entered in the attendance register. The school reportedly makes them sit in the back benches and they are not given any homework.

Incidentally, this school is part of the Karnataka Unaided School Managements’ Association (KUSMA) that is vehemently opposed to implementation of the RTE quota of 25 per cent in city schools. Several schools under KUSMA, including this one, remained closed for the second day as part of the association’s weeklong protest against implementation of the RTE.
