Budget pvt schools form association

“People have freely chosen Budget Private schools, even though a free government school is easily accessible. In a democracy, we respect people's right to choose their representative, how do we denigrate the parents’ right to choose a school for their children?,” asked Parth J Shah, president, Center for Civil Society involved in the collaboration.

According to co-coordinator of NISA, Rajesh Malhotra, who runs a private budget school in the city, 21 budget private school leaders from eight states have come together to voice their concerns. The alliance would gradually spread to all the states in the country and become an effective platform for articulating issues related to budget private schools, which were not heard while formulating the RTE Act.

“The answer lies in upgrading the quality of private budget schools and providing incentives to them rather than forcing their closure,” said Malhotra.
