Notice has been issued to nearly two dozen private schools across Noida and Greater Noida for alleged non-compliance with the Right to Education (RTE) Act and denying admission to economically-weaker students.
As many as 6,261 children had applied for benefits under RTE Act, a central law that mandates free and compulsory education to every child aged 6-14, in this session in Gautam Buddh Nagar district, the officials said. Of the total applicants, 3,717 of them were allotted schools through an online lottery system but only 952 of these children have got admission so far, Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) Dhirendra Kumar said, citing complaint from parents over non-implementation of the law.
