‘Education is a human right which should be accessible to everyone without any discrimination.’
Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009
The Right to Education Act 2009, also known as the RTE Act 2009, was enacted by the Parliament of India on 4 August 2009.
Free and compulsory education for children aged between 6-14 years in India under Article 21 (A) of the Constitution of India.
This act came into effect on 1 April 2010 and made India one of the 135 countries to have made education a fundamental right for every child.
1. Compulsory and free education for all
2. The benchmark mandate
3. Special provisions for special cases
4. Quantity and quality of teachers
5. Zero tolerance against discrimination and harassment
6. Ensuring all-round development of children
7. Improving learning outcomes to minimize detention.
8. Monitoring compliance of RTE norms
9. Right to Education Act is justiciable
10. Creating inclusive spaces for all
Still there is no proper awareness about this among people.
Qualified faculty, including both male and female teachers, close accessibility of schools, proper infrastructure, hygienic toilets, and free meal system must be implemented in all the schools.
Awareness creates interest and interest creates demand. So, let’s show some interest and hope that this demand creates a real, free, and quality education for everyone someday soon.
