CBSE directive

The Central Board of Secondary Education has directed its affiliated schools to provide free education to all girl students who are "single child" in their family.

My thoughts on this are, as commented on The Maanga:
Private schools, with the exception of few, have proved to be big money-minting institutions. Large sums of money, under the official billing of 'Facilities Development schemes', are being demanded as donations.The norm today is that majority of students attending private schools take tuitions outside the school. The schools have become but another 'state' institution - something everyone has to attend but with no great meaning, significance or 'educational' quality. Sure, this CBSE directive may not be the best solution, but it tries to address an issue that was being swept away under the carpet as if it never existed. I believe in a loan-type system, where the student's fees are paid by the government to the private school. The student once passing out of the school pays the goverment back in the form of taxes. This way, I believe that the schools won't have to compromise on teaching quality or facilities due to the greater number of students or due to the financial constraints that would arise out of the proposed system.
