Now, under-privileged children would not get admissions in private CBSE-affiliated schools in Bhopal under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. In a shocker, more than 70% in the state capital have submitted their minority certificates to district education
Confusion still prevails over reserved seats under the Right to Education (RTE) Act as 45 out of 63 CBSE-affiliated schools in the city have submitted minority certificates. Besides, they have also denied taking applications of under-privileged children under the RTE.
As a result, parents of children are running from pillar to post to submit these forms or trying to change their references of schools.
District education officer (DEO) C M Upadhyay told TOI: "Till Wednesday, 45 CBSE affiliated schools have submitted their minority certificates and hence these would be exempted from RTE admissions."
On whether school education department Rajya Shiksha Kendra (RSK) has issued guidelines for minority schools, DEO said, "We have confirmed with the RSK. Schools which have submitted minority certificates would be completely exempted from RTE admissions. If there is any complain, it would be looked into school-wise."
While schools have submitted their minority certificates, DEO office is yet to come out with a list of schools which are non-minority and where parents can apply for 25% seats.
Besides, definition of ’neighbourhood’ is also going distorted with the present state of affairs. One parent rued, "Almost all schools in BHEL area have been deemed as minority institutions. Hence, we cannot apply to schools in other areas as if we do reserved seats would be filled with children from the same neighbourhood, leaving our children with little chance."
February 8 is the last date for submitting admission forms for children coming under under-privileged section as defined in the RTE Act. The lottery for 25% of the reserved seats in KG or class I (whichever is the beginning class of the school) of non-minority schools would be held on February 15.
