The RTE bill, doesnt it also mean "people should take only that education, which is being provided by government" ? So what if someone is trying to build a parallel system better than government system? Isnt this bill a tool to give a blow to such a budding system? I have a doubt.

I guess, Atanu, you will suggest education-vouchers. So that government funds the poor and actual delivery is efficiently done by private players. I myself am pretty impressed with idea of education voucher. However, I have doubts on some aspects of voucher system. Not all my doubts are original. Some of them are sourced from the net. Atanu (or other readers), can you address a these doubts? You may post it here at Atanu's blog or mail it to me at baransam at the rate of hotmail dot com o voucher system doubts: o read mike joseph: http://www.sdst.org/shs/quest/vouchers.html o What if school is corrupt and gives money back to parents to get students? o How do parents judge goodness of school? Gutfeel? Or standard exams? o What if parents use vouchers to send kids to schools teaching harmful/ achaic/things-I-hate? Should there be a common curriculum of a school to get voucher redemption? How to ensure that school is indeed teaching the curriculum it has vouched for? o Is the voucher system to replace government-schools altogether? o What if schools of various religions/caste come up and students get segregated?
