<em>BANGALORE: </em>To tighten the noose around private unaided schools not implementing theRTE Act provisions, the education department has asked block education officers to provide information on schools that haven't followed the 25% reservation rule under the Right To Education Act. The circular, dated April 5, 2013, was issued after a number of unaided non-minority private schools refused to admit kids under provisions of the Act.

As per the circular, the admission process started on January 5 and all admissions were supposed to be done by March 15. But many unaided non-minority private institutions haven't taken any application under RTE, nor have they provided seats to underprivileged kids.

The department has also sought information on schools which have received very less number of applications under the RTE quota or no applications at all.
