Senior advocate at the Karnataka High Court Ravi Varma Kumar strongly recommended the State Government to wind up the Karnataka Unaided Schools Management Association (KUSMA), which has raised a banner of revolt against the implementation of the Right To Education (RTE) Act.

Ravi Varma told a gathering here on Friday that children should not be used as hostages and educational institutions are not trade unions that they can go on strike. The people of Karnataka rose to the occasion when a few private unaided schools lead by KUSMA shut down over the implementation of the RTE Act, which is unfortunate, he added.

On minority status, he lauded the efforts by the state government to define the term within the ambit of RTE. “Minority status should not be abused by educational institutions,” he said.

He observed that there is an unholy nexus between bureaucrats and private managements, which will impede the implementation of the RTE Act.
