Sixteen private schools in Gautam Buddha Nagar were on Wednesday served notice for allegedly not giving admissions to poor children under the provision of the Right to Education (RTE) Act.
District basic education officer MP Verma has sent notices to these schools in Gautam Buddha Nagar for not admitting poor children under the provision of the RTE act, under which private schools reserve 25 per cent of total seats for students from economically weaker sections.
"Under the RTE act, the district magistrate had recommended admission to 1,493 students to various schools. These schools are demanding admission fee, building funds and other charges from parents," Verma said.
