Elementary Education in India

Abstract

Elementary education is crucial because it builds the basis upon which a person's learning is built. There have been plans and programmes implemented that focus on the beginning of primary education for children from disadvantaged, marginalised, and socioeconomically backward parts of society. We want to learn more about the significance of elementary education in India by doing this study. To ensure that all children had access to free and “compulsory education” until they were 14 years old by 1950, “Article 45 of the Directive Principles of State Policy” stated that the State should strive to do so. India has sought to improve its efforts at universal elementary education multiple times since then, including every “Five Year Plan, the 1968 National Policy on Education, and the modified 1992 National Policy on Education (UEE).”
