RTE Act Extends To Education From Kindergarten To 8th Standard Irrespective Of Child's Age, LKG & UKG Classes Covered Under Scheme: Madras HC

Live Law  

The Madras High Court recently observed that the LKG and UKG classes would be covered under the Right to Education scheme as the state is regularly reimbursing the expenses incurred by these classes in the schools. This, in fact, finds support from the proviso to Section 12 of the RTE Act, Extent of school's responsibility for free and compulsory education, coming under Chapter IV, dealing with Responsibilities of Schools and Teachers which makes reference to 'pre-school education', thus, implying that the benefit of the Act is to extend to education from kindergarten to 8th standard. Justice Anita Sumanth noted that the object of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act was to make education available for all children from pre-school till 8th Standard and the same was paramount while understanding the Act. “Since the categoric object of the Act is to make available education for children from pre-school to 8th standard, it is this parameter that is paramount in understanding the application of the Act. The object of providing education for the children up to 8th standard will override any technical concerns relating to the ages of the students itself,” the court said.
