242 schools in Gurgaon get notices over delay in RTE admissions, ET Education
Gurgaon: Private schools refusing admission to children from the EWS category under the RTE Act will now face strict action. Many schools did not follow RTE guidelines, prompting the education department to issue notices to 242. Meanwhile, the education department extended the admission deadline under RTE for the third time till April 25 and has warned that failure to respond may lead to the cancellation of school recognition. As per RTE guidelines, disadvantaged children—including those from EWS, HIV-affected families, war widows, and differently-abled students—are entitled to free education in private schools. Haryana mandates a 25% reservation in entry-level classes (nursery/class 1), with 8% for SC, 4% for BCA, 2.5% for BCB, and the rest for EWS and special needs students. Of 10,701 private schools, 3,134 have not updated RTE data on the government portal.
