In a recent development, the state of Gujarat has increased the income threshold for admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 6 lakh. This move is aimed at ensuring that more children from economically weaker sections have access to quality education. The RTE Act mandates that private schools reserve 25% of their seats for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. With the increase in the income limit, more families will now be eligible to apply for admissions under this provision. This decision is expected to benefit a large number of students in the state who were previously unable to access quality education due to financial constraints. The state government’s decision has been widely welcomed by education experts and activists who believe that it will help bridge the gap in educational opportunities for children from different socio-economic backgrounds. The move is seen as a step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable education system in Gujarat. Parents and guardians interested in availing the benefits of RTE admissions are advised to check the eligibility criteria and application process to secure a seat for their children in private schools. This decision reflects the government’s commitment to promoting universal access to education and ensuring that every child has an equal opportunity to learn and grow.
