The Right to Education Act was enacted on the 4 th of August 2009. And it came into effect on the 1 st of April 2010. It provided each child between 6 to 14 years of age, the right to free and compulsory education. This act was applied across all the parts of India excluding Jammu and Kashmir. Other than this exception, it also exempted Madrasas, Vedic pathshalas, and religious institutions from its scope of implementation. The Need and Goals of the Right to Education Act 2009 Despite the reforms suggested through various education policies in India, education in India was still not a student’s ‘right’. Our weaker sections of society were still deprived of quality education. And there was a need to apply this act for proper conferment of the rights of children. This act made education a fundamental right. And it removed the financial barriers by introducing the concept of ‘free and compulsory’ education. With this act, a child’s education was now a responsibility of the government. Because with this Act, the government was fully responsible to ensure a child’s admission, completion of elementary education along with proper attendance. In general, this act aimed at getting all the children within this age bracket into the mainstream schooling system. And this makes RTE 2009 a landmark in the history of our Indian educational system. Here’s a look at the main recommendations of the RTE 2009: • All students between the age groups of 6 to 14 years shall have a fundamental righ...

As India’s landmark Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009 completes its decadal anniversary, the country continues to grapple with the problem of poor learning outcomes in schools. This brief argues that the RTE Act must now move beyond “easy to measure” metrics and focus on the quality of learning. Moreover, since states across India have varying requirements, the law must work towards increasing the scope for decentralisation. The brief takes stock of the RTE Act’s successes, while highlighting the challenges that confront it: streamlining the 25-percent reservation system; the implementation of the no-detention policy; the unreasonably stringent input norms; and the need to include early childhood care and education within the ambit of the Act. The brief also provides recommendations—both at the systemic and policy levels—on how to address these challenges in the next iteration of the Act.
