Ahmedabad Schools Face RTE Admission Challenges
Imagine some kids need help getting into school, and there's a special program called RTE to help them.
Right now, there's a second chance for these kids to get a spot in Ahmedabad.
But, some schools aren't getting any of these kids.
A lot of these schools teach in Hindi, and it seems like fewer people want to go there.
There are lots of spots open, but some schools aren't getting any students because the parents didn't pick them.
The last day to say yes to a school is coming up, and the people in charge will decide if they need to have another round to fill up all the empty spots.
The second round of RTE admissions is ongoing in Ahmedabad.
69 schools in Ahmedabad have not received any RTE students.
55 of the schools without RTE students are Hindi-medium.
14,778 RTE seats are available across approximately 1,300 schools.
The education department will decide if a third round is needed.
