Minister Rishikeshbhai Patel said that under Right to Education (RTE) children are admitted to schools so that even needy students can get education. RTE admission process is given with complete transparency to avoid injustice to poor children. Admissions of 621 children have been wrongly canceled in 10 districts of the state.
Rishikesh Patel said that in order to ensure their child’s admission under the RTE Act, the government had come to the notice of some parents in the state who were filling online forms by changing the child’s name and address etc.
Instructions have been issued from the state level to re-verify the details of such admitted children in the child tracking system operated by SSA and cancel their admission at the district level. In keeping with these instructions, 33 cases have been reported in Bharuch district, 25 in Chhota Udepur, 24 in Gir Somnath, 159 in Jamnagar city, 92 in Kheda, 161 in Rajkot, 10 in Sabarkantha, 14 in Valsad, 70 in Surat and Surendranagar districts. A total of 621 children’s exams have been canceled in the state.

Meanwhile, despite having studied in class-1 last year, this year the matter of parents filling online forms for admission under RTE was seen at the district and state level which is against the provisions of RTE. While filling the online form for RTE by the parents and allotting admission, the admission letter requires an undertaking from the parents that “My child is not studying in any school in the academic year 2022-23. Class 1/2, to the best of my knowledge. If the information is found to be incorrect, admission will be liable to cancellation under RTE. According to this order, the admission of wrongly admitted child is cancelled.
