[India_Vision_2020] Cabinet clears RIght to education bill !

Dear All In 2002 education was made a fundamental right !! Usually constitution rights are guaranteed through laws formed by govt to implement that !! This has taken quite some years !! But now we are one step closer to "Right to Education Bill" , though constitutional amends(86th amendment were made long back, passing a law in this respect has taken a loonnnngg time .. There are some good aspects in this legislation : Key provisions of the Bill include: 25% reservation in private schools for disadvantaged children from the neighborhood, at the entry level. The government will reimburse expenditure incurred by schools. No donation or capitation fee on admission. No interviewing the child or parents as part of the screening process. Also - Chapter on Teachers is interesting !! Infact law says it prohibits private tutions :-) ! Visit the link to see the bill : http://educationforallinindia.com/RighttoEduca tionBill2005.pdf We sincerely hope this will yield good results. We urge all the NGO's in primary edu field to keep track of this & utilise the benefits of it once it is out. These days we see state govt's are proactive & are willing to work with NGO's in big way. Ofcourse  they also have obligation to meet the "UN Millennium Development Goals" ... of meeting universal education for all ! Hope this legislation like RTI will create more urgency & participation from public ! Regards shiva
