माध्यमिक शिक्षा स्थानान्तरण 
SOME OF THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ACT ARE: • Any cost that prevents a child from accessing school will be borne by the State which shall have the responsibility of enrolling the child, as well as ensuring attendance and completion of 8 years of schooling. • No child shall be denied admission for want of documents; no child shall be turned away if the admission cycle in the school is over and no child shall be asked to take an admission test. • Children with disabilities will also be educated in the mainstream schools. • All schools will have to prescribe to norms and standards laid out in the Act. No school that does not fulfill these standards, within 3 years, will be allowed to function. • No school or person shall, while admitting a child, collect any capitation fee and subject the child or his/ her parents or guardian to any screening procedure. There is a provision for heavy penalty for demanding capitation fee and screening. • No child should be subjected to physical punishment and mental harassment. • Children in every habitation will have access to primary school within a walking distance of one kilometer and to Upper primary schools within 3km. For children in hilly, forested and difficult terrain, if schools are not possible within these distances there will be provision of hostels and transport, to ensure access to schooling for them. • No child will be detained in any grade and no child will be expelled from the school, unless she/he completes 8 year schooling. • Schools will have adequate number of teachers and classrooms - there is a provision for a teacher for every 30 children, a classroom for every teacher and a separate room for the Head master. • No teacher shall be deployed for any non-educational purpose other than the decennial population census, disaster relief duties or duties related to election of the local authority, or the state Legislature or the Parliament, as the case may be. • No teacher shall engage herself/himself in private tuitions and private teaching activity. • Schools will have separate toilets for girls and boys. • Schools will have a boundary wall, library and kitchen sheds as well. • Local governments and communities have been vested with adequate powers to plan, monitor and manage their schools • The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has been mandated to monitor the implementation of this historic Right. • A special Division within NCPCR will undertake this huge and important task in the coming months and years. • NCPCR has also invited civil society groups, students, teachers, administrators, artists, writers, government personnel, legislators, members of the judiciary and all other stakeholders to join hands and work together to build a movement to ensure that every child of this country is in school and is enabled to get, at least, 8 years of quality education.
