Ensure free admission of poor children in private schools as ‘national mission’: SC

New Delhi, Jan 13 (UNI) The Supreme Court today underscored that ensuring admission of children from weaker and disadvantaged sections in private schools under the Right to Education (RTE) Act must be treated as a “national mission.”
Interpreting Section 12(1)(c) of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, the Court held that State governments and local authorities are duty-bound to ensure that no eligible child is denied admission in neighbourhood schools.
It further ruled that private unaided and special category schools are equally obligated to admit such children to the extent of 25 per cent of their intake, in line with the RTE Act and Article 21A of the Constitution.
