Right to Education
The Right to Education Act came into effect on April 1, the culmination of a promise made years earlier. Promising all children aged between six and 14 the right to school and mandating that every school allocates 25 per cent seats for students from the underprivileged section, the legislation is expected to push up school enrolment figures across the country. With the RTE have come a code of conduct for teachers, strictures against corporal punishment and updated teacher recruitment rules, all aimed at improving teaching quality.
Higher education reforms
HRD Minister Kapil Sibal introduced three key legislations in Parliament: the Prohibition of Unfair Practices in Technical, Medical Educational Institutions and Universities Bill, the Educational Tribunal Bill, and the National Accreditation Regulatory Authority Bill, all aimed at ushering in transparency, a flow of information based on self-disclosure to students, and a speedy dispute redress mechanism. The ministry also put together an agreeable version of the Foreign Education Providers Bill with a bold framework to attract foreign universities, and addressing domestic concerns at the same time.
