SC To Decide If Schools Affiliated To International Boards Come Under Right To Education Act

Live Law  

The Supreme Court bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari has issued notice on a petition filed by an eleven year old child raising the issue whether a school affiliated to an International Board will come under the purview of Right To Education Act, 2009. The petitioner, Master Rajpurohit Ridham Devichand, was a student of Ajmera Global School, which is affiliated to Cambridge International Education and following the International General Certificate of Secondary Education syllabus. However, the division bench of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and G S Patel of Bombay High Court held that school was at liberty to set its own standards, untrammeled by the RTE Act as it was affiliated to an international board. In the SLP filed against the decision, the petitioner states that the High Court failed failed to address the question whether an international school comes under the purview of RTE Act.
