Education Tribunal

Union HRD Minister Kapil Sibal while addressing the 92nd convocation of the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi said that the government is planning to create an educational panel that will act as a tribunal to handle the legal cases in private sector. The panel will help in to settle legal disputes related to the private sector institutions.

Striking a clear note of discord with the human resource development ministry’s (MHRD) decision to empower educational tribunals with adjudication status, the Planning Commission has stated that such a move would only lead to the multiplicity of regulatory bodies in the higher education sector.

The states have given general approval to Human Resources & Development Ministry’s (HRD) proposals for new laws like to set educational tribunals and check malpractices in the educational system in a meeting of the state education secretaries on Friday.
