Sharad Gosavi, Director of the Directorate of Primary Education, shared this update in a circular. Under RTE provisions, private schools provide free education to students from Class 1 to Class 8, with the state education department reimbursing their fees.
The registration process for schools began on December 18, with an initial deadline of December 31. Due to lower-than-expected registrations, the deadline was extended to January 4. With schools now registered, the focus shifts to the online application phase eagerly awaited by parents.
This initiative continues to provide vital educational opportunities for underprivileged children across Maharashtra.
