Madhya Pradesh: Admissions not allowed with Transfer Certificate, schools demand action and approach DEO
Private school association met with district education officer (DEO) on Wednesday, raising a complaint against government schools admitting students without transfer certificates (TC).
Further, the association president Gopal Soni said, “About 400 private schools had to shut down due to coronavirus pandemic and financial issues arising from the same.” He added that these schools are now making fake mark-sheets and providing TC for such students.
“As per the Right to Education act (RTE), schools cannot admit a child in any class other than pre-primary without TC,” Soni said. He added that DEO Ravi Singh is also SDM and is not well-versed with RTE.
“Due to which, DEO was mislead to believe that TC is not required for admissions for class 1th to class 8th,” Soni said.
Further, the association said that DEO office receives several fake complaints on school fee charged and other issues. “These complaints are fake and we urged them to investigate properly, to which, DEO asked us not to worry,” Soni said.
