This document provides a critical analysis of the right to education in India. It discusses how education is a fundamental right that flows from the right to life. International standards and the Indian constitution recognize education as a basic human right. Important judicial decisions have helped shape education policy in India. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act of 2009 aims to ensure all children ages 6-14 receive free and compulsory education. However, some questions remain around implementation and whether the law achieves this goal in practice. Further reforms may be needed to fully realize the right to education for all Indian children.
