Abstract
Education is one of those rights which every child normally dreams of. Throughout the world nations have been trying to provide education as basic right to all its citizens. India took the step by introducing RTE i.e. Right to Education. It came up in the year 2005 meeting the international standards and thereby making RTE a fundamental right guaranteed under the Article 21-A 1 which talks about Right to Life and Liberty of the Constitution of India.
Nonetheless, India still faces many issues concerning education. The problems range from inefficient implementation to the problems regarding those who cannot afford the education.
There is also a lacuna as far as the student teacher ratio is considered. The writers of the paper will also try and discuss various other issues like – what were the original targets set by the framers of RTE and how far we have been able to achieve it. The necessity of primary education, the responsibility of state concerning the education after primary level and also how LGBTQ rights and RTE are associated have been tried to be discussed by the writers. This research paper intends to provide for the general explanation of the RTE and its background and then move onto the problems with RTE and then try to provide solutions to curb the problems and issues regarding the topic. The authors will also cover the scope of having the existence of the original and ideal RTE.
Education is not aright but a dream that every child wants to live and it’s our responsibility to fulfil their dream into reality.
"We are committed to ensuring that all children, irrespective of gender and social category, have access to education. Education that enables them to acquire skills, knowledge, values and attitude necessary to become responsible and active citizens of India" .With these words of the then Prime Minister doctor Manmohan Singh, RTE became a law making history in India. The law came in force on 1 April 2010 by a speech by the then Prime Minister. This was the outcome of Article 45 which under the newly framed Constitution had stated that “The state shall endeavour to provide, within a period of ten years from the commencement of this Constitution, for free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen years.
