Accepted Answer

B. The school is obligated to admit the child and provide free and compulsory education, reserving at least 25% of the seats for such children. — The RTE Act, 2009, mandates that all private unaided schools reserve at least 25% of their entry-level seats for children from economically weaker sections and disadvantaged groups, providing them with free and compulsory education. Option A is incorrect as the reservation is a primary obligation, not contingent on general admissions. Option C is wrong because the education must be free. Option D is incorrect as the Act explicitly applies to private unaided schools for this provision.

Answer

A. The school must admit the child only if it has vacant seats after admitting all general category students.
