Human Rights and Right to Education in India

Abstract

All of the rights that are part of our current society are referred to as human rights. In our current culture, one cannot exist as a human being without human rights. Human rights are fundamental rights that cannot be denied to anybody, regardless of race, caste, gender, faith, religion, or any other background. The Indian Constitution's Part III outlines rights as essential freedoms. The right to equality, the right to freedom, the right against exploitation, the right to freedom of religion, the right to cultural and educational freedoms, and the right to constitutional remedies are the six essential rights that the Constitution guarantees to Indian people. The most potent instrument for influencing both an individual's and a nation's future is education. A basic human right under the freedom clause is the right to education. It is crucial to achieving other human rights as well. The Indian Constitution has clauses that guarantee the state will educate all of its children. When the Indian Constitution was first enacted, education was designated as a state list topic. Education was added to the concurrent list of subjects via the 42nd Constitutional amendment in 1976, allowing the federal government to legislate it in a way that is appropriate for it. In 2002, Parliament approved the 86th constitutional amendment, which included article 21A and made education a basic right. A statute enabling the execution of the basic right, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE Act), was approved by Parliament in 2009. Beginning on April 1, 2010, both the new law and the constitutional amendment went into effect. The current study emphasizes the children's right to education and fundamental human rights from a constitutional perspective.
