EWS quota in schools is a reservation provided by the government to students belonging to the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) from the unreserved category to avail free education from Classes 1 to 8 in their neighbourhood schools, including private unaided institutions, under the Right to Education Act, 2009.
The EWS quota applies to government schools, government-aided schools, private unaided institutions and schools belonging to a specified category. These schools are required to offer free and mandatory elementary education until Class 8. Subsequently, the concerned state government is responsible for reimbursing these schools on a per-child-expenditure basis.
