Draft legislation aimed at incorporating pre-primary education in the ambit of law has been officially submitted to the state government. The state education commissioner has affirmed ongoing efforts to get it passed during the upcoming budget session, with the goal of implementation in the subsequent academic year.

“The draft has been submitted to the state government last week. We are trying to get it approved in the coming budget session. Therefore, all the pre-primary schools (Nursery/ kindergarten) in the state will come under the framework of the law. Once the draft is approved and legislation is passed, these schools will have to obtain state’s approval,” said state education commissioner Suraj Mandhare.
