Some provisions of the Right to Education Bill passed by the Union Cabinet last year, has not gone down well with the Association of Anglo Indian Schools in the country. The association has sought legal opinion in this regard.

“We have referred the matter to our legal cell to take note of where there is infringement of minority rights,” said Herod Mullick, general secretary of Bangiyo Christiyo Parisheba.

One of the provisions of the Bill which have not gone down well with the association is the mandatory 25 per cent reservation of seats that the school, both private and government, will have to make for the weaker sections of the society free of cost.

School principals attending the 87th Conference of Anglo Indian Schools that concluded on Thursday were of the opinion that such a measure will hamper the quality of the existing Anglo Indian schools.

Provisions like representation of a government nominee and a representatives of parents on the school managing committee and schools being debarred from screening kids or parents during admission has made the association unhappy.
