The State advisory council on rights to free and compulsory education in Manipur, headed by State Education Minister M Okendra has decided not to allow schools to conduct admission test for enrolment of students in pre-primary classes.
The Council took the decision in a meeting in Imphal on Thursday.
The Minister stressed the importance of making the Right to Education Act (RTEA) inclusive and meaningful in the state.
The meeting also decided to appeal to educational institutes’ particularly catholic school society (CSS) not to conduct admission test for enrolment of students to pre-primary classes from this academic year.
As for the coming years, the matter would be decided after a joint consultation with academicians, legal experts and authorities of catholic schools.
Catholic school society (CSS) sources said they had already advertised for admission test for pre-primary students but following the appeal from the parents associations and authorities, they had suspended the admission test.
Official sources announced educational institutions including Catholic schools, would be subjected to government action if they did not follow the decision of the state advisory council on rights to free and compulsory education.
