RTE Kerala : Automatic promotions till Class 8
As part of implementing the RTE Act
As part of implementing the Right to Education (RTE) Act, the State government has ordered all school headmasters to ensure annual promotion of all students to the next higher standard till Class 8.
The order issued by Education Secretary M. Sivasankar says the head teacher shall ensure that “no child admitted in a school shall be held back in any class or expelled from school till the completion of elementary education or subjected to physical punishment or mental harassment.”
This shall be strictly observed from the new academic year as part of implementing the RTE Act, the order reads.
The list of school teachers who, for one reason or the other, had lost their jobs after 1997 and were unable to find a job in a government/quasi-government institution, has been published on the website www.education.gov.in. There are 1,419 names in the list.
Complaints about the list should be brought to the attention of the District Education Officer before April 13, a press note issued here said.
