The Supreme Court expressed frustration over Telangana, Punjab, and Jammu & Kashmir for failing to respond to a plea seeking enforcement of the Right to Education (RTE) Act. Despite receiving notices, they have not submitted replies, delaying the case. The Court warned that if responses are not filed before the next hearing, the Chief Secretaries of these States must appear in person. The case, filed by Md Imran Ahmad, aims to ensure that private schools reserve 25% of entry-level seats for underprivileged children, as mandated by the RTE Act.
A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking the admission of Rohingya refugee children in local schools. The petition argues that these children should be allowed access to education as part of their basic rights. It highlights the importance of providing them with opportunities for a better future. The case is currently being reviewed by the court.
