Right to Education
The Right to Education ensures that every child has access to education without discrimination. In the context of student rights and disciplinary measures, it means students have the right to learn in a safe environment and be treated fairly. Disciplinary measures should be reasonable and aim to correct behavior rather than punish. Schools are expected to follow guidelines that respect students’ rights, ensuring that disciplinary actions do not hinder their right to an education. This balance respects both the needs of the school community and the individual rights of students.

It aims to ensure that all children receive free and compulsory education, typically up to a certain age, promoting fairness and equality. Recognized internationally, RTE emphasizes the importance of education in personal development and societal progress. Governments are responsible for creating policies and providing resources to uphold this right, ensuring that all children, regardless of their background, can learn and thrive in a supportive environment.
