ABSTRACT:
The importance of education cannot be denied in one’s life. It sustains the human values which supply to the individual and collective good. The relationship between universal human rights and educational equity and access within the context of the educational system It forms the origin for lifelong learning and inspires buoyancy to face challenges. It will give the skills to individuals to become more self-reliant and aware of right opportunities. It also enhances the ability of individuals to act more responsible and more informed citizens and have a voice in politics and society, which is essential for sustaining democracy. The importance of primary education has been neglected by India since independence knowingly or unknowingly. However, Government of India now is willing to improve primary education by bringing legislation i.e. Right to Education. But efforts through Right to Education (RTE) to improve the quality of school education seem to be yielding little result. The learning outcome in reading, writing and arithmetic is becoming poorer and enrolment in private schools is improving significantly, indicating a growing distrust of the common man against state-run schools in the country. This paper tries to bring out the meaning of much awaited Right to Education (RTE) 2009, act and tries to bring out the critical appraisal of the Act after five years since its passage.
