The Gujarat state government has announced a significant change in the income threshold for admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The income threshold has been raised from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 6 lakh, opening up opportunities for more families to benefit from the RTE quota. This move is expected to provide access to quality education for a larger number of economically disadvantaged children. The RTE Act mandates that private schools reserve 25% of their seats at the entry-level for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. By increasing the income limit, the state government aims to ensure that a greater number of students can avail of this benefit. The decision to raise the income threshold was made to address concerns about the previous limit being too low and excluding many deserving families. The move has been welcomed by education activists and parents alike. This change is likely to have a positive impact on the education landscape in Gujarat, making quality education more accessible to children from economically weaker sections of society. The state government’s initiative to increase the income threshold for RTE admissions is a step towards promoting inclusive education and creating equal opportunities for all children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
