Alleging that private schools had already begun the process of admitting students thus violating the rules, Ramadoss said this would deprive poor children of their right to education.
While schools under State, Matriculation and Anglo-Indian streams are allowed to hold admissions during April-May, for CBSE schools it was March, he noted.
"As admissions are being done by private schools and 100 per cent seats are being filled, poor children in such schools' neighbourhood are deprived of opportunity provided by the Right to Education Act."
As part of steps to reform education, he urged the State to administer admissions through a "Single Window System," and stressed that proximity of students to a neighbourhood school alone must be the criterion for admission.

He alleged that several schools were collecting exorbitant fee in the name of donation and building fund and wanted steps to stop it.
