Elementary Education is now a fundamental right of Every Child
The passing of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2009 marks a historic moment for the children of India.this act says that all children between the ages of 6 and 14 will have the right to free and compulsory elementary education at a neighbourhood school. There is no direct cost (school fees) or indirect cost (uniforms, textbooks, midday meals, transportation, etc) to be borne by the child or the parents to obtain elementary education. The government will provide schooling free of cost until a child’s elementary education is completed.25% of seats in private schools will be reserved for poor children. The Central and State Government will bear all costs
Through this education has become a Fundamental Right in the constitution of
But around 7 million children in
neighbourhoods instead of going to school.
there is something you could do and should do.!!!!
The maid’s toddler, the kid who tinkers around at the local garage, the boy who delivers the groceries home, the watchman’ s son, the driver ’s daughter, the newspaper boy who’s always running errands for the society, or the bai’s baby.…..most of the time we aren’t even aware if these children go to a school at all. Nor do we ever bother to find out. Even as they’re growing up into illiterate adults in front of our very eyes.
They should not be seen around your home at all. They should be in school.
Studying, like any normal child is supposed to.
They could all be in school, If only you asked them why or showed them how.
However, the Right to Education Act now asks us to do precisely that. ACT. Ask questions, nag parents and pester kids who hang around our streets to hang around a school instead. And find them the easiest way to do it.
So let’s stop pointing fingers at the authorities for once.
And let’s ask ourselves what we can do for our children.
