Udupi, May 23: Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri said on Tuesday that the Right to Education (RTE) Act would be strictly brought into force in all schools including private schools from current academic year.

Speaking to media persons here on Tuesday, Mr Kageri said that the Government was giving priority to proper and meaningful implementation of the Act in the State.

He said that he had held meetings with the heads of governing councils of private schools in this regard. “I am sure of getting cooperation from private schools in implementing the RTE Act”, he added.

Stating that utmost care will be taken to maintain required number of attendees in government Kannada medium schools in the backdrop of introducing 25 per cent reservations in all schools for underprivileged as part of RTE Act, the Minister said the consequences of the Act affecting government Kannada medium schools will be known this academic year.

“Schools have been directed against all odds in the process of introducing the Act. If extra applications are received to the seats that are being reserved, then the schools have been asked to go for lottery”, he said.

The Act says that it is the responsibility of the teachers and parents to stop children from dropping out from schools before 8th standard. Private schools also have come forward to initiate the rules. However, there are confusions as the Act is being introduced in a hurry, he added.

Model District

The minister said that Udupi district has set an example for all districts in State by clinching top position in SSLC exams. The programme 'Operation hundred percent' initiated as a pilot project in the district proved immensely helpful in bringing success.

He said that the state for the first time has set record by registering overall 76.13 per cent results in SSLC. It is 2.23 per cent more than last year's result.

However in Udupi, which has excelled with nearly 89.53 per cent result, the credit goes to operation 100 per cent introduced in order to get better result as the district was in 6th position last year.

Schools in remote areas like Hejamadi and Kodi have also recorded cent per cent result, he added.
