NEW DELHI: The Centre is pushing for amending the Right to Education Act to make education compulsory up to 10th class instead of present VIIIth class.
Human Resources Development Minister Prakash Javadekar noted that most of the states endorsed the idea on the first day of the meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) on Monday. Some states, however, wanted more discussions on the issue and hence Javadekar said there will be further consultations.
He said all states are in agreement with the Centre to improve the quality of the school education.
