The Supreme Court has directed governments to frame rules for implementing the 25% quota for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in private unaided schools under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. This directive aims to ensure transparent admissions and reimbursement for schools. Meanwhile, Delhi's Directorate of Education data shows over 3,500 EWS applicants were not admitted in the 2025-26 academic year, primarily due to parents declining seats over distance or incomplete documentation. The court emphasized that EWS admissions are a national mission and urged accessible relief for parents facing admission denial.
