Admission to Grade-I: HC Sends Notices to Centre and State

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court on Friday issued notices to the Centre, the state government and commissioner of school education, directing them to submit their contentions on the mandate issued by the Union ministry of education that a child should be aged over six years with a cut-off date of March 31 as eligibility for admission into Grade-1. In its notice dated February 15, the Union ministry had cited the National Education Policy 2020 and the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. Challenging the same, advocate Pesarikayala Pareekshith Reddy from Injapur village of Rangareddy district filed a PIL before the High Court as a party-in-person. This restriction was adding to the addiction to mobile phones at a very young age as they stayed at home, causing serious damage to their physical and mental well-being, Pareekshith Reddy said.
