Right to Education Act

The Right to Education Act (RTE), enacted in India in 2009, guarantees free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years. It aims to ensure that every child has access to quality education in a safe, inclusive environment, regardless of background or socioeconomic status. The law mandates essential standards for school infrastructure, teacher qualifications, and student-teacher ratios. It also emphasizes non-discrimination and the importance of equitable learning opportunities, striving to bridge access gaps and promote universal education as a fundamental right for every child.
