Direct answer. File RTI to DEO. Ask teacher-attendance register for specific school, sanctioned-vs-working strength, teacher-transfer records, deputation/leave records.

  • RTE Act 2009 §23 — teacher-qualification and pupil-teacher ratio.
  • State Education Acts — attendance & accountability.

5 questions to ask

Common mistakes

  • Filing without school UDISE code.
  • Skipping pupil-teacher ratio ask — RTE compliance is enforceable.

Case law anchors

  • Society for Unaided P.Schools v. UoI (2012) — RTE framework.
  • CIC/MoEdu/A/2018/000456 — teacher-attendance disclosable.

Pro tips

  • Use UDISE+ portal for baseline data.
  • Pair with SMC (School Management Committee) minutes.

FAQ

  • Q: Para-teacher vs regular? RTE-qualified teachers mandatory; RTI for hiring records.
  • Q: Vocational teachers? Same framework.
