RIGHT TO EDUCATION ACT

'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.

• . ‘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.

• The Act requires all private schools(except the

minority institutions) to reserve 25% of seats

for the poor and other categories of children (to

be reimbursed by the state as part of the public-

private partnership plan)

• It also prohibits all unrecognised schools from

practice, and makes provisions for no donation

or capitation fees and no interview of the child

or parent for admission.

• The Act also provides that no child shall be

held back, expelled, or required to pass a board

examination until the completion of elementary

education.

National Literacy Mission

The National Literacy Mission (NLM) is a

nationwide program started by Government

of India in 1988.

• It aims to educate 80 million adults in the age

group of 15 - 35 over an eighty-year period.

• By "literacy", the NLM means not only learning

how to read, write and count but also helping

people understand why they are deprived and

helping them move towards change.

• NLM works under the guidance of the National

Literacy Mission Authority, an independent wing

of the Ministry of Human Resources and

Development.

• NLM initially had two flagship programs - "Total

Literacy" and "Post literacy". The initiative was

revitalized on 30 September, 1999, when they

were combined as a single program: 'Literacy

Campaigns and Operation Restoration‘

• NLM works with NGOs across the country,

providing financial assistance for those that

actively participate.

• NLM releases funds for each district. While the

ratio between centre and state is 2:1, it is 4:1 for

tribal sub-plan districts.

ADULT EDUCATION

• Adult education is a practice in which adults

engage in systematic and sustained self–

educating activities in order to gain new forms of

knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values.

• Adult education reflects a specific philosophy

about learning and teaching based on the

assumption that adults can and want to learn,

that they are able and willing to take

responsibility for that learning, and that the

learning itself should respond to their needs

Adult learning can be in any of the three contexts:

• Formal – Structured learning that typically takes

place in an education or training institution, usually

with a set curriculum and carries credentials;

• Non-formal – Learning that is organized by

educational institutions but non credential. Non-

formal learning opportunities may be provided in

the workplace and through the activities of civil

society organizations and groups;

• Informal education – Learning that goes on all the

time, resulting from daily life activities related to

work, family, community or leisure (e.g. community

baking class)
