The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam has sought the immediate intervention of Chief Minister N. Rangasamy in implementing the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, in the Union Territory. In a letter to the Chief Minister, party secretary (East) A. Anbalagan said the Act was introduced by the Centre in 2009 with the intent to provide opportunity for economically weaker section students to study in private schools. As per one of the provisions of the Act, private schools are mandated to reserve 25% of seats for poor students if there are no government schools in their neighbourhood.
