However, the government has clarified that no child shall be expelled from any school till completion of elementary education.According to senior Ministry of Education officials, the notification will be applicable to over 3,000 schools run by the central government including Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navaodyala Vidyalayas and Sainik Schools.”Since school education is a state subject, states can make their decision in this regard. Already 16 states and 2 UTs including Delhi have done away with the no-detention policy for these two classes,” a senior official said.”Haryana and Puducherry have not made any decision yet while remaining states and UTs have decided to continue with the policy,” he added.
