T he proposed draft states that the total expenditure incurred by the school is to be divided among those students who are not admitted under the RTE quota. School managements fear that this will be a burden on parents of children who are not studying under the RTE quota. “ Although the government reimbursement ceiling for a student under the quota is fixed at Rs. 11,848 a year for a child admitted to class 1 and Rs. 5,924 for a child in pre-school, this amount is not sufficient for us. My per child expenditure per year on an average is Rs. 22,000. Will additional amount of around Rs. 10,000 be passed on to parents whose children are not admitted under the quota?” asked Gopal V., administrator at Regency School, Yelahanka.
