Summary:
The schools had refused admission to children under RTE on the grounds that they were minority schools. However, after students were allotted, the minority schools went back on their word and raised the issue of their minority status, denying admission to the students. The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday issued notice to the state government in connection with a petition filed against minority schools that had allegedly refused to admit students under the RTE Act. The petitioner told the court that the certificates had then stated that the minority schools on the list were willing to admit students under RTE. The petition has stated that the government after the first round of RTE admissions allotted 80,199 students to Class 1 in various schools..
