rejected the proposal by the National Commission for Protection of
Child Rights (NCPCR) for a grievance redressal mechanism for the
implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act.
The NCPCR, which monitors the implementation of the RTE Act, has been
calling for such a mechanism to tackle the large variety of complaints
coming in from all over the country.
"The range of complaints related to right to education is varied and
the same agency cannot address all of them and at different levels,"
Shantha Sinha, NCPCR chairperson, said at an event on Thursday.
A set of grievance redressal rules that looks into registering the
complaint, investigating it and also looks at the appeal process is
required," she said.
Supporting this, Kiran Bhatty of the RTE division of the NCPCR, said:
"One of the main challenges we face is the lack of a well-defined
grievance redressal system. Hence, along with a committee on corporal
punishment, such a system is our main policy recommendation".
Sibal, however, said that he does not agree with the proposal.
"Such a redressal system is not required. The states can take care of
the complaints coming from their areas," he said while releasing a
report on the RTE Act on its first anniversary on Friday. IANS
