New Education Bill will ensure 25% reservation

Filed under:

The spat between judiciary & legislature reached high climax after the honorable Supreme Court quashed down the quota system in private educational institutions and the government has come with a constitution amendment bill which will ensure reservation in private educational institutions.

The new bill not only empowers the government to monitor reservations and fee structures in these intuitions but also give straight governmental claws over them. This bill makes minimum 25 percent reservation mandatory in private educational institutions for backward class students. In this regard the HRD Ministry has already prepared a draft bill which has been approved by the law ministry. The bill will be discussed at an all party meeting before being tabled in the coming winter session of the parliament.

The bill also purposes that besides minimum 25 percent a state government can opt for higher reservation percentage. A senior HRD Ministry official said along with accountability the bill also allows greater voice to the parent and students.
