Inclusion Remains a Critical Challenge Under the RTE Act

Section 12(1)(c) of the Right to Education Act, 2009, mandates a 25% classroom quota providing 50 lakh disadvantaged students access to private schools.

A study of nine Delhi private schools highlighted that mere admission does not guarantee social integration, as students often face alienation without structural support.

Schools employing conscious practices like empathy learning circles and collaborative discussions successfully foster invisible inclusion for quota students.
