PTI | May 26, 2011



Haryana government today approved the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Rules, 2011, which would benefit about 22 lakh children in the state.

The rules have been prepared in pursuance of provisions of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009.

A decision to this effect was taken by cabinet which met here under the chairmanship of chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

A State Advisory Council under the Chairmanship of Minister in-charge shall be formed to ensure proper implementation of provisions of Rules, Hooda told reporters here.

There will be a primary school within a radius of one km and a middle school within three kms from a ward in case of urban area and gram panchayat in case of rural areas. No child will be denied admission for want of age proof.

The children in age group of 6-14 who are not going school will be identified and by giving special training they would be brought at par with the other students.

Continuous and comprehensive evaluation methodology will be adopted under RTE. This will make the children free from fear and anxiety of the exam, he said.

Though there will be no Board exam in Class VIII, there will be testing of the child on a regular basis at short intervals.

This testing will help teachers understand the weak areas of the child and teacher will provide additional support where needed.
