Imphal, January 29 2013: Demanding indiscriminate implementation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2009 as well as initiation of necessary action against schools which are challenging the Act, the Sustainable Development Centre (SDC), Thamnapokpi has submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister and the Education Minister.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, SDC secretary Inaobi Meitei observed that the objective of providing free and compulsory education to all children as guaranteed by the RTE Act 2009 cannot be achieved in Manipur as the same Act cannot be properly implemented in the State although it came into force all over the country with effect from April 2010 .
Though the RTE Act laid down that private schools should reserve 25 per cent of their student intake capacity for students belonging to weaker sections and give them free education, the same is not followed in any school.
Inaobi urged the Government to take up befitting action against all these defaulting private schools.
