CHENNAI
Around 15 students from EWB-KCG students chapter have volunteered in the RTE awareness program conducted by Bhumi on 26/08/2017 at 8:00 am in ambedhkar nagar ,Adampakkam. Mr.Hitesh ,member of Bhumi and his colleagues guided us and gave information regarding Right To Education scheme.
The Right to Education Act mandates that all private aided schools have to reserve 25% seats for the children from disadvantaged or economically weaker sections from neighborhood. Their complete education is free and the admission happens only at class LKG, unfortunately the people who can benefit from this are unaware of this or the procedure. Through RTE Act 42 children have already secured admission during the first two phases.
We created awareness among parents and local people around the area, by discussing the importance and procedure for applying admission under RTE Act. We collected few personal details of the family members who were willing to join their children. We know that Education is the process of facilitating learning, skills, values, beliefs and habits, which enthusiast us for participating as volunteer in creating awareness for RTE Act and we are pleased to be a volunteer.
