For the third year in a row, Right To Education admissions in Mumbai are delayed. Online admissions that were supposed to start on Monday, were cancelled due to delay in schools’ registrations. Parents seeking admission for their wards have to wait for few more days to apply for the first round of admissions under the RTE Act for the academic year 2017-18.

Speaking to mid-day, a BMC education officer said, “The director of an education primary extended the date of school registrations till Monday, so we couldn’t start the admission on the said date. Once the school registration process gets over we will start the admission.”
