The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act of 2009 ensures that all Indian children between the ages of six and fourteen receive free and compulsory education. The Act is not limited to government schools and involves precise rules for private schools to facilitate the law. The RTE Act’s Section 12(1)(c) requires private and unaided schools to set aside 25% of their Class I seats for students from underprivileged and weaker sections. Private school admissions are determined on a child’s caste or financial standing. Additionally, it forbids any unrecognised schools from operating, provides for no contribution or capitation fees, and does not require a parent or child to be interviewed for admittance. According to the Act, no pupil may be delayed, expelled, or forced to take a board exam before completing primary school. Additionally, extra support for school dropouts is provided in order to bring them up to speed with peers of the same age.
