By IANSMonday, August 9, 2010
NEW DELHI - Over 9,000 complaints - ranging from denial of admission in various city schools to flouting of the Right to Education Act by the institutes - have flooded Delhi’s child rights body.
According to Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights’ (DCPCR) chairperson Amod Kanth, the body has already disposed of around 1,000 such complaints but around 8,000 of them are still pending before the body’s special RTE cell.
The RTE act came into effect in April.
“The cases of such complaints have increased in recent times with poor children being denied admission and also schools have hiked fees,” Kanth told reporters Monday.
He said majority of the cases were complaints of admission denial.
