What is Right to Education?

Why Right to Education?
The Right to Education serves as a building block to ensure that every child has his or her right to get a quality elementary education.
Constitutional Background
Originally Part IV of Indian Constitution, Article 45 and Article 39 (f) of DPSP, had a provision for state funded as well as equitable and accessible education.
The first official document on the Right to Education was Ramamurti Committee Report in 1990.
In 1993, the Supreme Court’s landmark judgment in the Unnikrishnan JP vs State of Andhra Pradesh & Others held that Education is a Fundamental right flowing from Article 21.
Tapas Majumdar Committee (1999) was set up, which encompassed insertion of Article 21A.
The 86th amendment to the constitution of India in 2002, provided Right to Education as a fundamental right in part-III of the Constitution.
The same amendment inserted Article 21A which made Right to Education a fundamental right for children between 6-14 years.
The 86th amendment provided for a follow-up legislation for Right to Education Bill 2008 and finally Right to Education Act 2009.
