Government outlines 6 steps to ensure affordable schooling for all
The government has detailed six strategies aimed at making education both accessible and budget-friendly for all children. One point highlights that every child between the ages of 6 and 14 is entitled to free elementary schooling at a nearby institution. Another provision notes that Section 12(1)(c) of the 2009 RTE Act requires private unaided schools to reserve a minimum of 25% of their entry-level seats for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
