An Analytical Study of Right to Education in India

Since Article 21A recognizes the right to education as a fundamental right, all Indians are granted this right without limitations. Article 45 of the Constitution's Directive Principles of State Policy mandates that all children under the age of six receive free and compulsory education. In accordance with the Fundamental Duties outlined in Article 51A, parents are also required to ensure that their child, who is between the ages of 6 and 14, receives an education. On August 27, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act of 2009 was unveiled.The National Education Policy 2020 has been designed with the principles of justice—social, economic, and political outlined in the Preamble, as well as the constitutional guarantees for all citizens. The Policy aims to achieve the SDG 4 goals, adapting to the evolving world of knowledge, and ensuring future generations are not only knowledgeable but also skilled to meet the demands of future employment.
