Finish RTE admissions by July 7 or face action: DEO to 43 schools

Ranchi: Despite multiple reminders and deadline extensions, 43 out of 72 recognised private schools in the district have failed to complete the mandated admission process under Section 12(1)(C) of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As a final reminder, the district education office has asked all defaulting schools to complete the online enrolment process by July 7 without fail. Schools have also been instructed to inform parents of the selected children and facilitate their admission promptly. The RTE provision requires schools to reserve 25% of their entry-level seats for children from economically weaker and disadvantaged sections. According to a letter from the district administration, instructions were initially issued to all schools to complete the enrolment by June 2 and update the admission details on the dedicated RTE portal for the academic session 2025–26. However, considering the summer vacation in schools, the deadline was extended to June 25. Despite this relaxation, it was found that many schools neither initiated nor completed the enrolment process. The letter stated, "Non-compliance with the mandated RTE admission process will invite strict action from the administration. Schools failing to admit eligible children may face the withdrawal of their UDISE code, cancellation of CBSE affiliation, and penalties as per the provisions of the Right to Education Act, 2009."

Assam schools may return to Jan-Dec academic year

Guwahati: Assam might revert to a Jan-Dec academic year for schools, moving away from the current Apr-March schedule. This change is being considered due to the disruptions caused by festivals and adverse weather conditions at the start of the academic year in Apr. A three-member committee of senior govt officials has been formed to explore this possibility. The committee is led by Krishna Baruah, additional secretary of the state education department, and includes Mamata Hojai and Suranjana Senapati, directors of secondary and elementary education, respectively. "The committee will propose the names of 10 academicians, and consultations will be held with them before making a decision on changing the academic calendar. Student organisations, teachers' bodies, and other stakeholders will also be invited to discussions," a source from the education department said. The initial reason for changing the academic session during the Covid pandemic was to align it with competitive examinations and higher education application timelines. Previously, the academic year ran from Jan to Dec, but Class X and XII state board exams were still conducted in Feb-Mar, similar to the CBSE schedule. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 45세 이상이신가요? 느긋하게 쉬려면 이 게임을 플레이해 보세요 (지금 플레이해 보기) Taonga: 아일랜드 팜 플레이하기 Undo In 2021, following the Covid-19 pandemic, the academic session was shifted to April-March, a decision that did not sit well with groups like the All Assam Students' Union (Aasu). "We did not want the change in academic session timing earlier. January to December is the best timing for the academic session if we keep in mind floods, festivities, and the paddy harvesting season, etc. in Assam," said Tutumoni Kalita, education secretary of Aasu, on Tuesday. Ratul Chandra Goswami, secretary general of Assam State Primary Teachers' Association, said while the academic year was altered due to Covid, Assam's geographical and climatic conditions have negatively impacted students' education. "According to the academic calendar prepared by SCERT, students are having to sit for evaluations without acquiring the necessary knowledge because the curriculum could not be advanced as planned. It is noteworthy that due to the April-March academic year, students have had to participate in the first and second evaluations without acquiring knowledge because of Rongali Bihu, Eid, floods, and soaring heat," he lamented. He said significant academic loss has been observed in Dec-Jan due to winter. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!
