Description
The National Advisory Council has recommend that the government should support all schools to meet the norms under the Right to Education Act and make it sure that the children of the migrant workers and manual scavengers as well as the ones in the conflict zones are also covered by the legislation. The panel’s recommendations include “support to all schools to meet the norms under RTE after assessing the compliance status of all Government, aided and private schools”. The NAC stressed on better integration of children from disadvantaged groups in the private schools. “The definition of ‘disadvantaged’ needs to be widened to include categories of highly disadvantaged groups such as migrant and street children, children in conflict regions, children of manual scavengers,” the panel noted, adding: “It is government’s responsibility to timely reimburse the private schools to cover incidental expenses such as the costs of remedial work, counseling, text books and uniforms.” The Centre has of late made it clear that the March 2013 deadline for extending the implementation of the RTE Act would not be extended. It is also recommended that the Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry for Human Resource Development should jointly develop a national policy for early childhood and pre-school education.
