Right to Education Act, 2009
Implementing the 25% reservation for children from socially and economically weaker sections (SEW) in private unaided schools under the Right to Education Act (RTE) is a significant step towards achieving educational equity in Ranchi. Here are some of the potential benefits of this policy:
- Increased access to quality education: Children from SEW backgrounds often face barriers to accessing quality education due to their financial or social constraints. This reservation provides them with a valuable opportunity to attend well-equipped private schools, potentially improving their academic outcomes and life chances.
- Greater social inclusion: Bringing together children from diverse backgrounds in the same classrooms can foster understanding and tolerance, promoting social cohesion and breaking down barriers.
