Supreme Court Orders Rules to Enforce 25% EWS Quota Under RTE Act

The Supreme Court directed the government to frame binding rules to implement the 25% reservation for economically weaker sections (EWS) in private unaided non-minority schools under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The court emphasized this as a constitutional duty under Article 21A, highlighting the need for transparent admission processes, helpdesks, and grievance redressal mechanisms. It noted that enforceable regulations are essential to ensure free and compulsory education and promote social equality through inclusive schooling.
