The Rajaya Sabha, the upper house of Indian parliament, on 24 April 2012, passed the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Amendment) Bill 2010. The amendment seeks to provide the right to receive home-based education to children with severe disabilities.
The amended bill gives school management committees an advisory role in minority schools, both aided and unaided, and keeps madrasas and Vedic schools and other institutions providing primarily religious instruction out of the perview of the Act.
Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Amendment) Bill 2010 is the first education bill to be passed in Parliament in two years. There are 13 pending education bills in Parliament.
