JAMMU, Jan 9: The poor students in the Jammu and Kashmir will now able to get reservation in private schools much like in other parts of the country after Right To Education (RTE) Act 2010 came into existence following the abrogation of Article 370.
Right To Education was need of an hour and was always discussed by the educationist as many students were deprived of the good education because of non implementation of Right To Education in the Jammu and Kashmir.
Under the Right To Education Act private schools during the Kinder garden admission will have to keep their 25 percent seats reserved out of their intake capacity for poor student and Economical Weak Sections.
Right To Education was never implemented despite the many voices being raised by people in Jammu and Kashmir. Right To Education became applicable in Jammu and Kashmir on August 31.
