Nelson Mandela: "Education Is The Most Powerful Weapon Which You Can Use To Change The World."

The right to education is essentially a fundamental and universal human right. The right to education means that the State should make adequate provision for educating its citizens. Education makes man a right thinker and a correct decision-maker. It achieves this by bringing him knowledge from the external world, teaching him to reason and acquainting him with past history, so that he can be a better judge of the present. With education, he finds himself in a room with all its windows open to the outside world. A well educated man is a more dependable worker, a better citizen, a centre of wholesome influence, pride to his community and honour to his country. A nation is great only in proportion of its advancement in education.

The right to education is essentially a fundamental and universal human right. The right to
education means that the State should make adequate provision for educating its citizens.
Education makes man a right thinker and a correct decision-maker. It achieves this by bringing
him knowledge from the external world, teaching him to reason and acquainting him with past
history, so that he can be a better judge of the present. With education, he finds himself in a room
with all its windows open to the outside world. A well educated man is a more dependable
worker, a better citizen, a centre of wholesome influence, pride to his community and honour to
his country. A nation is great only in proportion of its advancement in education.
The various types of right to education are primary education, secondary education, vocational
education and higher education. Every child has the right to primary and elementary education.
To be meaningful and effective, education must be available, accessible, acceptable and
adaptable. Education should be available free of cost for till the primary and elementary level
without bias or discrimination on the bases of race, gender, colour, religious belief, economic
status, language and nationality, ethnicity or disability. The school should be safe, accessible and
have basic amenities for its students. Education should be affordable to all and text books should
either be supplied free or heavily subsidized for the students. The teaching learning process and
methodologies of the schools should be acceptable and in adherence to values and to the national
norms set by the government. At the same time they also should providing quality education.
Adaptability means the education must to be flexible and easy, sustainable and having a far
reaching impact.
India is a late entrant to the group of countries that have legislated for compulsory education.
The right to education is recognized as a human right by the united nation. The Constitution
(86th Amendment) Act 2002 making elementary education a Fundamental Right and its
consequential legislation, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act
2009, comes into force. The Salient Features of the RTE Act are :
1. School and social mapping;
2. Catching those out of school;
3. Re-deployment of teachers;
4. Filling vacancies;
5. Grievance redressal;
6. The funding. Inevitably, this will take care of the 'threefold educational object'. It would
also result in bridging the access and enrolment gaps, to a large extent.

Thus, it can be concluded that, Education is a fundamental human right, without which
capabilities for a decent life and effective participation in society are less likely to be developed.
Since the RTE Act has provided us the tools to provide quality education to all our children, it is
now imperative that we, the people of India, join hands to ensure the implementation of this law
in its true spirit.
