Question 8

A parent belonging to an economically weaker section (EWS) category in Kerala applies for their child's admission to Class 1 in a private unaided school, specifically requesting a seat under the RTE Act's provisions. Assuming seats are available under the mandated quota, what is the school's primary obligation?

Accepted Answer

A. The school must admit the child free of cost under the 25% reservation quota, with the government reimbursing the school for the expenses. — Under Section 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act, private unaided schools are mandated to reserve 25% of entry-level seats for children from economically weaker sections and disadvantaged groups.
