Since the Governments have to provide a neighbourhood school to every child in three years, which includes a vast number of children who are out of school today, the need for land and school buildings should force the governments to refrain from removing schools on prime lands in big cities for making land available for commercial purposes. In any case it will require vibrant civil society interventions, as were seen in Indore, Karnataka and other places. Since such transfer of land has also been reported in PPP kind of school arrangements (in Mumbai), it should be clear that all memorandums for PPPs if at all signed, would be under the purview of the provisions of this Act for the age group 6 to 14. They can not be exempted from this Act. The government can not seek PPPs for schools catering to the age group 6 to 14 since providing a neighbourhood school to all children in three years is a compulsion on the state. But, as it appears, if the government signs MoUs for 3500 secondary schools which have classes 1 to 8 attached to them, then the provisions of the Act, like admission tests, capitation fees, CCE etc. would apply to these classes of such schools.
