The Andhra Pradesh State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (APSCPCR) will take measures for implementation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, also known as Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009.
“Though the Act has come into force several years ago, it is not being implemented properly in the State. The commission will visit private schools, enquire about the implementation of the Act, and take suo motu action against the institutions that have failed to adhere to the norms,” commission Chairman K. Appa Rao has said.
“All the recognised private and unaided schools in the State affiliated to the Central, State, or other Boards, should allot 25% seats to the socially- disadvantaged and economically weaker section (EWS) students under Section 12 (1) (C) of the Act,” Mr. Appa Rao told The Hindu on Saturday.
