these all acts and laws are not applicable to Kashmir. how sick is that?

what the heck GOI is doing? bunch of spineless eunuchs 

Deoband "will strongly protest the move to snatch rights of madarsas through RTE and it is with the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, which is already opposing it."

The right to education belongs to the children, not to Deoband or AIMPLB. Some madrasas may be depriving children of their right to education.

Deoband slams Right to Education Act, to oppose it

But under section eight and nine of the RTE this power has been given to the Centre and local bodies," he said.
He alleged that under the law, right of the minority unit setting up the school to appoint a member of the community in the management committee has been withdrawn.

Besides power to fix education qualification of the teachers has also been given to an authority set up by the Centre, the AIMPLB member said. He said that it would badly affect the system of imparting religious education.

The All India Shia Personal Law Board has also opposed the RTE and said that it would support the AIMPLB in its campaign.
President of the board Mirza Mohammad Athar said his organisation opposes the law and if requested by AIMPLB, it would support the campaign. '

Agaye apni aukat par !

Deoband moved  forwrd on two wives but now has gone back to Stone Age Education.

One step forward and the two steps backward -the Deoband's Mantra for progress of Muslims!
 

The reason why minority institutions always manage to escape is the discriminatory nature of Article 30.

Can't help it. We are back to the golden days of socialism.

25% seats in private schools for poor children - is fine. Let us say, government schools are also filled with students. Does it cover ALL children in India ? What about those who are left out of this ? What do they do with their "Right To Education" discount coupons ? Approach courts ? Does the governement ensure there is a school within 2-3 km radius of any house with children ? Or will the children be forced to attend schools, let us say, 10 km away ? Schools which may or may not have teachers, buildings, ... ?

Prior to bringing RTE, governement should have ensured that their schools have basic infrastructure and "full occupancy".

>> The No Obligation section refers to all minorities

Think the first claim one did too.

"It's the same section. Otherwise, you are spot on."

The No Obligation section refers to all minorities.

>> First one section has "first claim to resources", now other has "no obligation" to duties.

It's the same section. Otherwise, you are spot on.

How can a communal law which discriminates between minority and majority communities be constitutional ? First one section has "first claim to resources", now other has "no obligation" to duties.

Mera Bharat Mahan !

 @MADHU,

I was not talking about poor bypassing merit. I was thinking of priviledged people like me learning how the poor in our country live. I learnt this in my 30's as I worked with the riot victims in the aftermath of Bombay riots of 1992/93. This inspite of coming from a family with egalatarian values and which has always maintained strong rural connections. The 25% reservation is a golden oppurtunity for the rest of 75% to learn from.

It remains to be seen if the RTE implemented with good faith. Cultural problem is bigger than bureacratic or monitery problem.

 Such a stupid law, if the government really cares about the right to education, why don't it develop its own schools which are so pathetic in condition. Can we create equality by just making our poor children sit near our rich children. 

But this could be a boon to local goondas and political devils who can now run school mafia and avail seats in to any institution after labelling a child "Poor". 

No wonder! the dumbest goverment is doing the dumbest things.

Ganesan,

>>  It is a worthy goal to have everyone educated but how does that become a "right"?

Article 26 of UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights says, "Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory."

>> Supreme Court is wrong to endorse tis act. It is a worthy goal to have everyone educated but how does that become a "right"?

Actually, in several countries, education is free and compulsory. Not sure if it's defined as a "right", but the difference if any, would only be in semantics.

The bad part of the judgement is the requirement that even private, unaided schools are required to follow this dictum. Private institutions need to be left to their own devices. It may be desirable for them to follow more social responsibility, but it can't be mandated. Plus, the cost of this social responsibility shall be borne by other parents, who are not always rich. Moreover, whether they want to indulge in charity or not, should be there decision, not enforced on them.

"which mandates 25% free seats"

Since we are calling it a "right", why the 25% cap? Should not the law allow for ALL students to be admitted? What happens if the demand is more than 25%? They will be denied their constitutional right. Right????

This is another of those programs which will be a massive drain on the exchequer and with nothing to show for it. The whole idea is a sham and it is tragic that SC has fallen for this charade.

 Supreme Court is wrong to endorse tis act. It is a worthy goal to have everyone educated but how does that become a "right"? What other "rights" are there?

We keep on redefining the words to suit the agenda of the day. 

I agree with Naveen K Batta. What is the logic in differentiating between private unaided schools and minority run unaided schools.

In the first place I cannot understand why any school which does not receive funds from the public exchequer should be liable to perform free a task which lies squarely within the purview of the government. Secondly why does it matter if the schools is run by a minority or by a majority.

It is sad that the SC has now passed a communal law. This amounts to a tax on parents, from which minorities are exempted.

The logic of exempting unaided minority institution should be applied to all unaided institutions regardless of the community which runs it. The petitioner should apply for a review petition.
