  • It was noted that recommendations made to the policy draft will require several amendments being made to the Right To Education Act, 2009.

    The proposal to extend 25% quota in private schools to minority institutions would require a major amendment to the Act.

    Another clause is the RTE banning grade repetition till Class 8, while the policy aims to reduce it to Class 5.
