Parents created ruckus in the school premise questioning the role of the teachers. The school principal Zakia Siddiqui soon called a meeting with the parents and told them that letter has been written to the authorities asking for a solution.Addressed to the Regional Office of the Board in Dehradun, the letter mentions: Due to the no-detention policy of RTE Act we are promoting the students from class 1 to class 8th and a large group of weak students are in class 9th. A number of students are failed in class 9th and as per CBSE rules, the failed students have been given compartment examinations. Those who are failed in one or two subjects are allowed to repeat in the same class. The students who are failed in more than two subjects are asked to look for another school.”Seeking the opinion of the officer, Siddiqui writes in the letter: Those who are very poor and secured almost 15 % marks should they be allowed to take another examination?” Awaiting the reply from the authorities, Siddiqui said, “We will see if something can be done.”There are five section in class 9th and 302 appeared for the tests. Out of those who appeared 40 have been asked to repeat and other 76 have been told to leave the school. Some parents are unhappy about this, one of them said, “Who will give them admission now- the school should look into this – what went wrong with teaching?”Siddiqui said, “The no-detention policy of the RTE hampered setting the learning level. Students did not take assessments seriously. Now when class 9th result is upon them they are alleging us of mal practice. Foundation of some is still not strong.”Last year 18 States demanded “required amendments” in this policy of Right to Education (RTE) Act, recommendations were made to the Central government to have the policy revoked.
