Answer» Right to Education Act, enacted in the year 2009, states that children who fall in the age group of 6 to 14 are eligible for free education from standard 1 to 8th in a government or aided school. For this Act, the government has laid the following guidelines. *Children who are above the age of 14 and have not got the opportunity to study till 8th, can join in lower classes and can complete their education till 8th *Children who are poor or underprivileged in some way, can get admission in a private school and can study free of cost till grade 8th. *25% of the seats have to be kept for underprivileged students in class 1 in private schools for free education. *A child cannot be forced to give entrance test to get admission nor can he/she be forced to give documents like Transfer Certificate and age proof for admission. All these can be sent as a poster or can be stated in Village Panchayat sessions and could help those children in getting education. |
