Hi Parents,
Did you hear about the word RTE?
Nowadays, RTE is the slogan of all medias and politicians in Tamilnadu and as well as the politicians in India.
Ok. Let’s come to the point. Here i am going to discuss about the Free Education for your Children in Tamilnadu. So read all the given below passages very carefully.
Yes. We all know that, our Tamilnadu Government providing Food and Free Education for more years. Even they provide free education and food to children, we can’t find more students in Government Schools, because of the attraction towards private schools. To divert the craze towards private schools, they announced the act called as RTE.
What is RTE?
The acronym of RTE is Right to Education Act. It is also called as Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, it is enacted by the Parliament of India on August 4, 2009. This act describes the importance of Free Education for Children between 6 and 14 Years old in India. It comes under the Article 21A of Indian Constitution.
RTE Act requires all the private school to reserve 25% of seats for Weaker Section and Disadvantage group. According to this law, there is no need for a parent to pay any Admission Fee, Capitation Fee or Donation to private schools. This act was not suitable non minority schools of Muslims and Christians.
If a private school was run by a Muslim or Christian, if they got authorization from the government as non minority, they didn’t come under in this act. They don’t need to join the students under this act.
