Answer: (1) A only
Explanation:
Let's analyze each statement:
A. Amendment to RTE Act removed private schools from being recognized as ‘neighbourhood schools’ if there is a Government or a Government-aided school within the limits of any ward.
- Correct. The amendment to the Right to Education (RTE) Act included provisions that restrict the recognition of private schools as "neighbourhood schools" if a government or government-aided school is available within the limits of a ward. This was done to encourage the utilization of government schools and reduce the burden on private schools for RTE admissions.
B. In the academic year 2024-25, there isn’t a single private school in Bengaluru that can give RTE quota seats.
- Incorrect. While there may be restrictions or limitations, the statement that there isn’t a single private school in Bengaluru that can give RTE quota seats is likely an exaggeration or inaccurate. Private schools in Bengaluru, as in other parts of India, continue to offer RTE quota seats, though the specific availability might vary.
Conclusion:
Statement A is correct, while statement B is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is (1) A only.
