25% admissions under RTE in private schools: Haryana education minister
Ambala
Hitting out at the Opposition for targeting the state government for scraping Rule 134A, Haryana education minister Kanwar Pal said the decision was made in the interest of the public and unlike in the rule where 10% reservation was made for poor students, the Right To Education (RTE) will ensure that 25% students are given admission in the same category in private schools. The minister said this while addressing a press conference in Yamunanagar’s Jagadhri on Wednesday. “From 2007 to 2014, the Congress didn’t give admission to students despite the implementation of the rule due to their alliance with private schools. But we have ensured that the schools allow admissions and warned them of cancellation of their licence. They have been asked to display all details for the admission on their website till April 15,” he told mediapersons.
