CHENNAI: The deadline for admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) in Tamil Nadu private schools is fast approaching. This situation arises as central funds under the Samagra Shiksha (SS) scheme remain withheld, causing uncertainty and challenges for the education sector. The Tamil Nadu government has been actively negotiating with central authorities to release these crucial funds, which were withheld last year. These funds play a vital role in supporting the admission of underprivileged children into private schools under the RTE quota.
With the delay in funds, private schools face financial pressure, which impacts their ability to admit and support RTE students. Parents seeking admissions for their children under the RTE quota are urged to act promptly as the time window is closing. The RTE admission scheme ensures free and compulsory education for children from economically weaker sections, aiming to promote inclusive education in Tamil Nadu.
Educational policymakers emphasize the importance of quick resolution and fund release to ensure that deserving children do not miss out on valuable learning opportunities. The government’s continued efforts to secure the funds show commitment to upholding education rights.
Key points to note:
