| RTE, SC verdict widely acclaimed by NGOs | | | Early Times Report
UDHAMPUR, Apr 13: NGOs in Udhampur has hailed the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the constitutional validity of the Right to Education Act, 2009, which mandates 25 percent free seats to the poor in government and private unaided schools uniformly across the country.
Reacting to the apex court's directives, President Social Reform and Charitable organization J&K Sanjeev Parihar, said it is a path breaking judgment and that it would give hopes to children from the weaker sections of the society. He added that he is running a orphanage with 30 inmates on the name of Ashiyana and present SC verdict is hope for Ashiyana children also. He added that its a step forward for our nation to become a greater civil society, by including the children who do not have access and opportunity of quality education into the best of best of schools. Sarita Devi vice resident Indian Democratic Human Rights education an NGO said that it is a very good decision, wherein 25 percent poor children would get an opportunity to study in any school, however, the number of poor and rural children in our country is so high that just by giving 25 percent reservation in good schools, the issue related to education will remain incomplete," she added. Vikram Slathia of LVD NGO said that it is a very historical judgment because the Constitutional Amendment Article 26 A, which has ultimately led to this RTE Act has given lot of hopes to the weaker section of the society. Children from the disadvantaged sections of society will now have access to private schools as the Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional validity of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. |
