of school
New Delhi, February 16
It’s a tough challenge for Punjab on the education front. Even in this progressive state, close to 50,000 children are out of school and more than one lakh disabled in need of inclusive education. In all, there are 122 habitations with no primary or upper primary school in the neighbourhood to enable children to access free and compulsory education mandated by the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The state needs to build 261-km boundary wall to fulfill infrastructure requirements mandated by the law, which says every school must be enclosed.
