Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray yesterday urged the Union government to bring pre-primary admissions under the purview of the Right To Education (RTE) Act. The Sena leader today met Union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Harsh Vardhan in Delhi over a range of issues. In a letter addressed to Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, Thackeray demanded that the pre-primary admissions be brought under the purview of the RTE, as young parents find it daunting to pay donations for their wards.
"The little child and parents are interviewed for admissions. The child is expected to know poems and parents are expected to have a certain educational or economic status. Such pre-conditions prevent many families from attaining the quality education in our country," he stated.
