Working of right to education

The right of children to free and compulsory education act or right to education act is an act
of parliament of India enacted on 4th august 2009, which describes the modalities of the
importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 to 14 years in India
under article 21(A) of the constitution. The RTE Act is the first legislation in the world that
puts the responsibility of ensuring enrolment, attendance and completion on the Government.
It is the parents' responsibility to send the children to schools in the US and other countries.
Every private school has to keep 25% of its seats in class 1 for children from ‘disadvantaged
groups’ and ‘weaker sections’. The school has to give free education to these children till
class 8. The Right to Education of persons with disabilities until 18 years of age is laid down
under a separate legislation – the Persons with Disabilities Act. A number of other
provisions regarding improvement of school infrastructure, teacher-student ratio and faculty
are made in the Act.

 Education in the Indian constitution is a concurrent issue and both centre and
states can legislate on the issue. The Act lays down specific responsibilities for
the centre, state and local bodies for its implementation. The states have been
clamouring that they lack financial capacity to deliver education of appropriate
standard in all the schools needed for universal education. Thus it was clear that
the central government (which collects most of the revenue) will be required to
subsidise the state.
 It has been pointed out the RTE act is not new. Universal adult franchise in the act
was opposed since mist of the population was illiterate. Article 45 in the
Constitution of India was set u as an act: the State shall endeavour to provide,
within a period of 10 years from the commencement of this Constitution, for free
and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen
years.

My aim would be-


1) To learn more about the functioning of govt. schools, what are the problems faced
by them.
2)What education ministry of the govt. is doing to solve those problems
3) to study about Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan or SSA, which is an Indian
Government programme aimed at the universalisation of elementary education "in a
time bound manner” DPEP, over several phases, covered 272 districts in 18 states of
the country. This programme is also an attempt to provide an opportunity for
improving human capabilities to all children through provision of community -owned
quality education in a mission mode. It is a response to the demand for quality basic
education all over the country.
4)to study about School Choice Campaign (SCC) ,launched in 2007 and is a
campaign to bring about the much-needed reforms in the system of school education
in India today using the three prongedapproach of Education Vouchers, Regulatory
Reforms and Encouraging Entrepreneurs.

1) I have planned to visit a govt. School to see the problems faced by them whether it is
infrastructure or proper drinking water facilities or any other faced by them.

2) to know more about school India campaign by them with the people responsible for its
great success in ensuring the right to education to many children.

3) to see the functioning of SarvSiksha Abhiyan as an organisation

The basis of my project is-


 What problems are solved by right to education act and what more is needed to be
done to solve he problems faced even after implementation of the act
 How these organisation works to solve the problems faced by schools and children
 Right to education act is for children between the age of 6 to 14, but what about
children above 14 years of age
 The project will help me to understand the education system of India at its base level.
To understand how an act can change the lives of so many children and so many
families connected to them.
