The Sikshasandhan, a resource centre for education, will organise a consultation programme on the implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act at the Hotel Suryansh here on Sunday.
Members of civil society organisations, funding agencies, teacher unions and people’s representatives will suggest ideas for proper implementation of the RTE in the Odisha. The children in the age group of 6-14 years have all rights to get free and compulsory education as per the Right to Education Act 2009, which came into force on April 2010.
While Government schools, where 90 per cent children belonging to poor families study, lack proper infrastructure, required number of teachers and proper training system. This apart, education has not got its due importance on the development agenda of the State.
These issues would be discussed in detail at the consultation programme.
