Child rights panel NCPCR faces SC heat over 25% EWS school quota

The Supreme Court criticized the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights for lax enforcement of the Right to Education Act. The commission is required to ensure that private schools reserve 25% of seats for economically weaker sections. Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe found the NCPCR's affidavit unsatisfactory and demanded accountability. They directed the commission's chairperson and director to be present at the next hearing.
