The Right to Education Act, 2009, is a missed opportunity as the glaring disparities between rural and urban areas, between poor and rich, social and religious groups are likely to remain unaffected if not get further accentuated in the years to come.
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act enacted by parliament in August, 2009 came into force on 1 April 2010. The Act promises 10 broad objectives including free and compulsory education to all children in the 6-14 age group. This means millions of children will now get education at least up to class 8.
