New Delhi: The latest report by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (Ministry of Women and Child Development) has found that almost 14% principals do not favour children from economically weaker sections (EWS) studying in their school.
The reasons behind this discrimination seem to be ranging from health, hygiene concerns to non-payment of reimbursements. According to Section 12(1)(c) of the Right To Education Act, 25% of seats in private non-aided schools are to be reserved for children from economically and socially weaker sections of society.
