New Delhi, April 27: With the Right to Education Act stipulating that no school can operate without recognition, Delhi Government has started a process of identifying such unrecognised educational institutions functioning in the city.
The education department of the city government has already directed civic agencies MCD and NDMC to identify such schools in their areas within next seven days.
“Notices will be issued to such schools to apply for recognition and if they fail to get the recognition within a stipulated time-frame then they will be shut down,” said an official.
Existing private schools that do not meet the infrastructure requirement prescribed in the act would have to upgrade their infrastructure within three years of coming into force of the Act, which says, if they fail to do so, their recognition should be withdrawn.
