9. IMPLEMENTATION AND FUNDING
Education in the indian constitution is a
concurrent issue and both centre and state can
Legislate on the issue.
The states lacks financial capacity to deliver
education of appropriate standards in all the
schools for universal education. Therefore
central goverment have to subsidize the states.
In april 2010 central goverment agreed to the
sharing for implementation of law in ratio 65:35
. Later increased to 68%.TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

10. PRESENT STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF RTE
ACT 2009
OUT OF SCHOOL CHILDREN: The no. of
out of school children Of age
group 6-14 years decreases. The
highest proportion of out of
school children is in east zone
and lowest in the south zone.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

11. PUPIL TEACHER RATIO: There should be
atleast 1 trained and qualified teacher for
every 30 students. Currently national
average is 1 teacher for every 34 students
but in states like bihar ,madhya pardesh ,
west bengal there is 1 teacher for 60
students.
Half of the schools in arunachal pardesh,
assam ,meghalaya do not have drinking
water facilities.
Many of the schools do not have seprate
washrooms for girls.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

12. Ignorance among teachers and
guardians for the provision of the act.
Private schools are not supporting and
declining the admissions under RTE act
and approached the supreme court on
the validity of Act.
Shortage of skilled and qualified
teachers.
Quality education is being questioned.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

13. SHORTCOMINGS OF RTE ACT 2009
Criticised for being hastily –drafted,
not Consulting many groups active in
education , not considering quality of
education , infringement on rights of
private and religious minority schools.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

14. Admission according to age but no
facility for bridge courses : It stipulates
that the child should assigned class according to
age regardless to the level of learning which is a
good step to save wasted years .But there are no
provisions for the bridge courses ti equalize
pupil on the learning scale.
Failure of no detention policy: It is one of the
major loooholes of this act. It is to ensure that
detention would not let them to drop out of
school but it distorts the whole idea of assesing
learning outcomes.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

15. Exclusion of children below 6 years and
above 14 years of age: The act allows only
children of 6-14 years of age to get
priviliges. Critics argue that 0 to 6 years is
considered to be delicate and formative in
child’s upbringing and stopping at the age
of 14 means leaving tge task half a way
because next 4 years of adoloscence are
equally critically in children’s maturing
process.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

16. Barier for orphans: The act provide admission
of children without any certification. However
some states continues pre- existing practices
and ask for income and birth certificates,
BPL cards etc which orphans are not willing
ti provide. On the basis of which schools are
not admitting these children .
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

17. Status of poor kids in private schools: The
RTE Act 2009 opens the door of private
schools for weaker sections. A kid from
weaker section would be suddenly exposed
to a diffrent living standard. A question
arises here, will they be treated with equal
dignity by the school administration and
peers?? Moreover, Is education totally
free?? What about other expenses books ,
uniform?
There is an acute shortage of trained
teachers.
