Bengaluru, (DHNS): The Associated Managements of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka (KAMS) demanded that the state government withdraw the Karnataka Education Act Second Amendment Bill, 2017, at a state-level symposium at Palace Grounds on Saturday.

General secretary Shashi Kumar D, said, “ICSE and CBSE schools cannot come under the Act, the government should withdraw all related circulars. Let schools focus on academics.”

They addressed several demands to the principal secretary for education and commissioner for public instruction. They demanded that the process of admission through RTE should be completed by March every year. School managements also expressed their concerns over several ‘RTE activist groups’ which target certain schools and stir trouble. They also said that the revised state syllabus textbooks were not up to the expectations.

Principal secretary Ajay Seth, said, “Around 40% of the children in rural areas and 80% in urban areas in Karnataka attend private schools. The government and managements of these schools need to work together.”
