High Court dismisses plea challenging RTE"ˆin pre-schools
The
High Court of Karnataka on Monday dismissed a batch of petitions filed by
private schools challenging the government's decision to reserve seats in
pre-schools under the Right To Education Act (RTE Act).
The government has made it mandatory for all schools to reserve 25% seats in
pre-schools for economically weaker section students in its order dated March
6, 2017. Dismissing the petitions filed by private school managements, Justice
S Sujatha ruled that the action of the public instruction department in
allotting students both pre-school and
Class I is legal and within the provisions of the RTE Act.
