Overview
- Maharashtra is drafting a law to regulate pre-primary education, which is currently under review by the law and judiciary department.
- Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated the Maha School GIS App and Pre-School Registration Portal to centralize data on pre-primary institutions.
- Private pre-schools must register within seven days, providing details on infrastructure, staff qualifications, and special-needs enrollment.
- The initiative aims to enhance transparency, enforce quality standards, and empower parents with verified information about local pre-schools.
- This move aligns with the National Education Policy 2020, which integrates children aged three to six into the formal education system.
