 Public Choice economics applies realistic insights about human behaviour to the process of government, and it is extremely helpful for all those who have an interest in – or work in – public policy to understand this discipline. This complex area of economics has been summarised in a very clear primer by Eamonn Butler. This text is an important contribution for all who seek to understand better the role that government should play in economic life.

 Liberty & Society Series 7 : Social Change & Public Policy
What is public policy? A public policy is basically a law or rule that is enforced by any level of government, whether central, state, or local. Our activist judiciary also makes public policy: that all public transport in Delhi must run on CNG, for example, was a Supreme Court decree.

RTE Act & Private School Regulation
With the new Right to Education Act (RTE) comes an exciting opportunity to change the way private unaided schools are regulated and gain recognition in India. The role of the private unaided sector in India is crucial for achieving “Education for All”. The RTE Act provides an opportunity for state governments to explore ways in which to assure even better quality from private unaided schools.

ViewPoint 10.1: Reservation in Private Schools under the Right to Education Act: Model for Implementation
Shekhar Mittal and Parth J Shah
Section 12 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 (the Act) has made it compulsory for every private unaided school to admit at least 25% of its entry level class from children belonging to weaker and disadvantaged groups. For this category of students the state government will reimburse schools an amount equal to either the fees charged by the school or the per child expenditure in state schools, whichever is lower.
Through this document the Centre for Civil Society seeks to highlight the lacunae in the current framework for 25% reservation for weaker and disadvantaged groups in unaided private schools and seeks to provide inputs on effective implementation of the same. |
