The State Government needs to do more for the effective implementation of the Right to Education Act (RTE), said National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) National Commissioner and Head Right to Education (RTE) division, Kiran Bhatty here on Tuesday.
Bhatty speaking on the sidelines of seminar on RTE, at the NITTR auditorium said the rights based development was needed and the people’s participation in implementation of RTE is the commission’s priority.
Bhatty said the setting up of full a fledged State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) is one of their primary demands. The SCPCR by law, is the first appellate for complaints and its proper functioning would give a boost to the RTE Act implementation in Madhya Pradesh.
The RTE requires participation of various departments and Bhatty called upon the State should create a platform for departmental co-ordination. Adding the passing of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) norms is a welcome sign, however child right need to be understood in its entire ampit.
The implementation of the RTE Act is a three to five year process and the Government has to pull its act together for the successful implementation for benefiting all, said Bhatty.
The primary grievance redressal lies with the Panchayat said added. Eighty per cent of the children in the country attend Government run schools.
The RTE Act not only makes education a fundamental right but also empowers the monitoring of schools in the hands of the people said Bhatty. The role of civil society is very important, as peoples participation will lead to education of our children she added.
