NEW DELHI: The Association of Private Schools of Uttar Pradesh held a press conference in Lucknow demanding fee reimbursement based on the Right To Education (RTE) Act 2009 and to send only those students for admission in unaided private schools who fulfil all conditions of eligibility set under the RTE Act.
"In view of the administration paying no heed to the problems being faced by millions of private schools of Uttar Pradesh due to various provisions of the Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009, the Association of Private Schools of Uttar Pradesh again knocked on the doors of administration through a press conference held at Press Club, Lucknow, today to find solutions to their problems at the earliest," said a statement from the Association of Private Schools of Uttar Pradesh.
The association requested the UP government and the education department to declare the expenses made by the government in the primary government schools during the previous nine academic sessions under the RTE Act 2019. It also wants the government to declare the payment of the balance fee reimbursement of the students of weaker sections and disadvantaged groups for these nine years.
