Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal Saturday said he will try to build a consensus among all states to implement the Right to Education (RTE) Act from April 1. He also stressed that the government is and will be strictly against commercialisation of education.
"Our aim is to ensure that all children in India get quality education, but we are against commercialisation of education. Incessant hike of fee and overcharging from parents is something we do not support," Sibal told reporters here.
In order to implement the RTE Act in its true spirit, the minister said, he will hold meetings with various state governments.
"I will talk to every state government on issues regarding implementation of the RTE Act from April 1. I will be meeting Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Diskhit Monday regarding the same," he said.
