Section 12 of the RTE Act provides that all aided schools have to provide free education to such proportion of their students, as the aid received by them by the government bears to their total recurring expenditure.
The Act is silent about what criteria the aided schools will use to determine which students they will provide free education to under this section and the Rules should fill this lacuna. The Rules can provide that the children given free education under this section shall belong to weaker sections and disadvantaged groups as defined for the purpose of the 25% quota.
If this is not clear, the seats in sought after private schools may get to friends and contacts of the local PRI/MLA/MP (who also is a powerful member of the SMC)
