UP School Merger News: Council primary schools of Uttar Pradesh are going to be merged into a nearby school. In protest, a petition has been filed in the High Court. The petitioners have not been given any relief in this case by the Lucknow Bench of the High Court. The High Court has rejected both the petitions of each petition, including the government’s decision.
The High Court has given a very important verdict in the matter of matching primary schools to the Government of Uttar Pradesh and the Lucknow Pet of Allahabad High Court issued its reserve verdict and rejected both the petitions filed, after which the government has got the green signal to merge the school.
Government order correct and children’s petition was rejected
For the information of all of you, let us tell you that the order was issued on June 16 through the Education Department. In which the order was passed to merge the schools with low enrollment schools in a nearby school. In which the schools were asked to merge the upper primary or composite school and this order was described by the petitioners as a violation of the Right to Education Act and the order was being sought to be canceled. However, through the government, it was said in the court that the main objective of merger is to improve the quality of education and resources to be effectively used. Also, there are many primary schools where there is not a single enrollment, in such schools, the objectives of making facilities and salaries of teachers in nearby schools have been merged.
Government gave but school is not being closed
Through the government, it was argued by the government advocates that in fact it is not the process of merger, but the school pairing process so that the Uttar Pradesh government has got legal support after this decision of the High Court to get quality education. This has simultaneously approved the policy of school integration. Although information on this issue is being told only against the right to education of children, but after the order of the High Court, the way has been cleared to the government to implement its policy.
High court expected to reversed the verdict again
Following this decision of the High Court, the petitioner is preparing to issue a bench of the High Court. He says that this decision will change a lot from the double bench of the High Court. Because it is a big case of education and this is a violation of the Right to Education Act made for children between 6 and 14 years of age, although the single bench of the High Court has dismissed the petition, not considering it a violation of the Right to Education Act, now the petitioners are expecting the double bench.
