BANGALORE: With weeks left for the schools to reopen, the Karnataka government on Tuesday brought clarity to the 25% quota for the underprivileged in the Right to Education Act (RTE), issuing a notification on how the pie is divided among the weaker sections who could get admission in unaided schools.
The 25% RTE quota is split between disadvantaged groups and the economically weaker section (EWS). The former consists of 11 groups - SC, ST, Category 1, 2 (a), 2 (b), 3 (a), 3 (b), orphans , street children, children with special needs and HIV-infected . Those seeking seats under Category 2 (a), 2 (b), 3 (a) and 3 (b) should have an annual family income of less than Rs 3.5 lakh.
Children from families whose annual income is below Rs 3.5 lakh - the threshold for the creamy layer of backward class as notified by the social welfare department - will be considered under EWS. Those seeking seats under EWS should not come under any of the other 11 disadvantaged groups.
RTE are we ready?
