A matter bearing Number W.P.(C) 1225/2014 titled Pramod Arora Vs. UOI & Ors. is pending in the High Court of Delhi regarding Admission of Children with Disabilities in Schools in Delhi particularly under the Right to Education Act. This includes the 75% paid +25% (freeship quota for disadvantaged) to be respected by Private schools under the RTE Act.
When there are more number of students before the private schools (mostly the number is more than the vacancies in the schools) there is a draw of lots among the eligible students - in both the 25% reserved categories and 75% general paid categories. The Govt. refunds certain portion of the fee etc to the private schools for those admitted under the 25% quota in the private schools. Now in this draw of lots the situation is that many disabled children get left out - due to direct and indirect discrimination and sometimes due to just the system in place. The Act provides for free and compulsory education for the disabled children up to the age of 18 years and 14 years for non-disabled children. I solicit your urgent views on how to ensure maximum children with disabilities could be admitted in not only government but also private schools with appropriate environment conducive to them. Also the manner of effecting reservation in education in light of PWD Act. I need the views by 1 PM tomorrow i.e. by 14 March 2014 -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Advocate Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
