Patna,(BiharTimes): Chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday stressed his government’s commitment to strictly implement the Right to Education (RTE) Act in Bihar, especially in terms of admission of poor students in 25 per cent seats in public schools.

Intervening in the state Legislative Assembly during Education Minister Ashok Chaudhary’s reply to a Starred Question by RJD MLA from Maner, Bhai Virendra, he said a detailed probe would be carried out to find out whether the public schools were implementing the norm or not.

The RJD MLA wanted to know from the Education Minister as to what stringent measures his department proposed to take against those public schools, which are not adhering to the guideline on reservation.

According to Bhai Virendra most public schools were flouting the norms of RTE Act.
