RTE Access to Poor Students: Challenges Faced by the States

I am writing a three part articles in a series on the challenges faced by States in implementation of Right to Education Act, especially the 25 per cent reservation in private and unaided schools for children from economically weaker sections. 

It has been a decade the RTE Act came into enforcement, we need a comprehensive review on the process promises vs achievements.

This article, first part of a series, discusses the challenges faced by some of the state governments in implementing the RTE Act and analyses how they have failed to prioritise the needs of primary education of children belonging to economically weaker sections of the society as mandated in the constitutional provision. The following parts will explore alternative ways to ensure universal access to quality primary education to poor children.
