The Right to Education Act (RTE) ensures that every child in India, aged 6 to 14 years, has the fundamental right to receive free and compulsory education. Introduced in 2009, this act mandates that schools provide quality education and maintain minimum infrastructure standards. It prohibits discrimination based on caste, creed, or gender, aiming to enhance enrollment and retention rates among underprivileged sections of society. Additionally, RTE emphasizes the need for trained teachers and a child-friendly learning environment, ensuring children receive a robust foundation for future education and personal development.
