Amendment to ‘The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009’
The Union Cabinet has approved the amendment to Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009.
Key facts:
The amendments are aimed at ensuring that all teachers, in position as on 31st March, 2015, acquire the minimum qualifications prescribed by the academic authority to extend the period for such training for four years up to 31st March, 2019.
This would also ensure that all Teachers would attain minimum qualifications as considered necessary to maintain the standard of teaching quality.
