Right to education

Manasi (Querist) 24 February 2014 This query is : Resolved
I would like to know whether the right to education means compulsory education in `a school'? Or does it mean the child can be home schooled? Thank you very much in advance for your time and help.

Academic query.

Thank you for your answers. I am a mother of a school going daughter who is irritated by the quality of school education. So the question was not academic but rather practical for me. I am not studying to be a lawyer but do watch many legal dramas.

Thank you once again.

Ok, you should have posted this fact at the very beginning.

Right to education mean no Indian citizens would be deprived of basic schooling for his/her economic constraints.

It does not mean compulsory schooling. Your child can learn from home also if you think it would be good for her which I doubt very much.

Anything compulsory denotes compulsion, where a right does not mean that anybody should compel you to exercise your right. A right can be exercised at your own volition, not forced to be exercised.

Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 provides precious right to receive free and compulsory education from the ages of 6 to 14 years of age. The government will bear all the expenditures of schooling. The act has mandated for private schools to reserve quarter of classroom strength for deprived sections of society.
