SC directs states to give Rs 2,000 per month for education of children from CCI now with their families
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed all states to provide Rs 2,000 a month for the education of each child who was in a child care institution and has now been restored to his or her family during the COVID-19 pandemic. The apex court also said state governments should provide necessary infrastructure, including books and stationery, to CCIs for the online classes of children living there on the basis of recommendation from district child protection units within 30 days.
A bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao said states should ensure that the required number of teachers are made available to teach children in CCIs.
It also said that states would pay Rs 2,000 per month for their education and this amount has to be given at the recommendation of the district child protection unit, keeping in mind the financial position of the children’s families.
