Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia highlighted the flaws of the no-detention policy under the Right to Education Act, according to the report in TOI. He said that "copy-pasting" other countries policies in India won't work until a substantial change is brought in the system. He also added it's a "foolish decision." Under the policy, students are not detained till Class VIII.

Referring to his letter at CII Delhi's annual session and business conference, the Union HRD minister said, Some of us might have gone to Europe and America and would have heard about the no-detention policy. They came back and copy-pasted it here. But we need to check them in the Indian context. He emphasized on the need to bring changes.

The education minister also said the policy is good but we will have to train our teachers we will have to change the classroom settings. The government is planning to build an innovative vocational university. By bringing changes in a revolutionary way he wants to make the capital a 'knowledge hub', Sisodia said.
