New Delhi: No extension
is likely for the March 2013 deadline to achieve the right to
education (RTE) targets for now, Human Resource Development
Minister M.M. Pallam Raju said Thursday.
Speaking at the conclusion of the Central Advisory Board of
Education (CABE) meeting here, Raju said extending the deadline
was not a solution.
"Extending the deadline is not the solution. It will be a
collective failure. Instead we should push harder for meeting the
set deadline," he said.
"There are certain problem with some states. It is the problem of
legacy, but then these are the states where RTE is most needed,"
Raju said.
"The deadline for RTE remains March 2013 for now," he said.
Several states including Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are lagging
behind in meeting deadline for implementation of the RTE law,
failing to achieve significant targets in fields like teacher
student ratio, school infrastructure and teacher's qualifications.
The deadline extension issue was raised by Bihar.
The CABE also gave an in-principal approval to start deliberations
for including secondary education under the right to education.
