NEW DELHI: The Haryana government has decided to drop the school education rule providing a 10% quota to students belonging to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in private schools in order to implement the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The state school education department has omitted rule 134A from Haryana School Education Rules, 2003.
The education department has taken the decision since the rule was at variance with the RTE of the Central government. Moreover, some private schools had been protesting against the rule alleging that the parents were submitting fake income certificates to avail the benefit, as per some reports.

In September 2021, the Haryana government announced that children belonging to poor families verified under 'Parivar Pehchan Patra' will now be imparted free education at government-run Model Sanskriti schools in the state.
Meanwhile, the Punjab government has barred private schools from increasing fee. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday directed all private schools against increasing fees or compelling children to buy books, uniforms or stationery items from select shops. Mann said parents want to provide education to their children but it has become costly, making it unaffordable.
