Asha for Education's campaign towards Right to Education Bill
Education is a fundamental and basic right of every human being and cannot be denied in any democratic society. As per the constitution of India all children in the age group 6 to 14 have a fundamental right to free and compulsory education as will be detailed in law by the government. It is the duty of the Government to provide for and guarantee this fundamental right. However, this is more a fact in writing rather than in practice.
Briefly, We demand that the Central Government:
- Not abdicate its constitutional obligation
- Recognize the importance of elementary education
- Present the Right to Education Bill in the Indian Parliament
- Provide for Free and Equitable Education
- Make Right to Education Enforceable and Justiciable
- Provide space for public feedback and criticism
- Provide for Timely Implementation of the Bill
