The three city schools that were on the verge of losing their no-objection certificate (NOC) for non-compliance of Right to Education (RTE) Act rules, have blamed the education department for being ‘inefficient’.

While the report put together by the deputy director’s office shows how three schools are yet to admit students under the freeship quota of RTE, schools have highlighted how the problem lies in the fact that the RTE admissions server has been down for the past few days, disallowing schools from updating the information online.
