CM Ashok Gehlot has approved the proposal to reimburse fees for students up to Class 12. The government will spend Rs 46 crore on this approval under the Right to Education Act.
Under this scheme, children of class 8 studying on free seats will continue to study till Class 12 from the 2023-24 academic session, a release from office of the directorate of elementary education said.
Recently, different associations of the guardians across the state had held a protest against the government for delaying the implementation of this scheme. They apprehended that with the new academic session already started, the government may not implement the scheme this year.
