Indiens regering indførte retten til uddannelse på?
"The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act" eller "Right to Education Act, også kendt som RTE", er en lov fra det indiske parlament, der blev vedtaget den 4. august 2009, og som beskriver retningslinjerne for betydningen af gratis og obligatorisk undervisning for børn mellem 6 og 14 år i Indien i henhold til artikel 21A i den indiske forfatning. Indien blev et af de 135 lande, der gjorde uddannelse til en grundlæggende rettighed for alle børn, da loven trådte i kraft den 1. april 2010. I titlen på RTE-loven indgår ordene "gratis og obligatorisk". "Gratis uddannelse" betyder, at intet barn, bortset fra et barn, der af sine forældre er blevet optaget på en skole, som ikke støttes af den relevante regering, skal betale nogen form for gebyr, afgifter eller udgifter, som kan forhindre det i at gennemføre og afslutte en grundskoleuddannelse. "Undervisningspligt" forpligter den kompetente regering og de lokale myndigheder til at sørge for, at alle børn i aldersgruppen 6-14 år optages, deltager i og gennemfører en grundskoleuddannelse. Hermed er Indien gået over til en rettighedsbaseret ramme, der pålægger centralregeringen og delstatsregeringerne en retlig forpligtelse til at gennemføre denne grundlæggende rettighed for børn, som er nedfældet i forfatningens artikel 21A, i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i RTE-loven17 .
'The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act' or 'Right to Education Act also known as RTE', is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted on 4 August 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution. India became one of 135 countries to make education a fundamental right of every child when the act came into force on 1 April 2010. The title of the RTE Act incorporates the words ‘free and compulsory’. ‘Free education’ means that no child, other than a child who has been admitted by his or her parents to a school which is not supported by the appropriate Government, shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or charges or expenses which may prevent him or her from pursuing and completing elementary education. ‘Compulsory education’ casts an obligation on the appropriate Government and local authorities to provide and ensure admission, attendance and completion of elementary education by all children in the 6-14 age group. With this, India has moved forward to a rights based framework that casts a legal obligation on the Central and State Governments to implement this fundamental child right as enshrined in the Article 21A of the Constitution, in accordance with the provisions of the RTE Act.17
