Four-year-old Priya Kanojia was bubbling with excitement. It was the first time she was going to school and she had new books, uniform and new friends. Priya was one of hundreds of students in the city who got admission to kindergarten in international schools through the RTE free admissions — something unimaginable for her father who works as a driver.

But, after attending school for two weeks, on Saturday the school handed over a copy of the latest government resolution (GR) to her parents, asking her to stop attending school from Monday, as her admission stands canceled.
