The Right to Education Act of India is defined as follows: “The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or Right to Education Act (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.”
With this Act, the education of children has become a Fundamental Right in the Constitution. The Act further decrees that private schools must reserve 25% of the seats for underprivileged children and that “no child shall be held back, expelled, or required to pass a board examination until the completion of elementary education.”
