Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legislation is one of the most important tools for empowering children. It reflects the commitment of the state to promote an ideal and progressive value system. Recent years have seen several key developments in the law, policy, and practice related to child rights. Significantly, with the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, a rights-based approach has acquired prominence in the child rights discourse across the world. The book analyses the laws in the light of court judgments and policy initiatives taken in India. It also examines the interventions and strategies employed by non-governmental organizations in recommending legislative reforms in support of children. This fully revised third edition focuses on the new legal developments in India—such as the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015; the new Central Adoption Resource Agency guidelines; the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009; and the National Food Security Act, 2013—thus attempting to integrate the law in theory and field practice.

Download or read book The Child and the State in India written by Myron Weiner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has the largest number of non-schoolgoing working children in the world. Why has the government not removed them from the labor force and required that they attend school, as have the governments of all developed and many developing countries? To answer this question, this major comparative study first looks at why and when other states have intervened to protect children against parents and employers. By examining Europe of the nineteenth century, the United States, Japan, and a number of developing countries, Myron Weiner rejects the argument that children were removed from the labor force only when the incomes of the poor rose and employers needed a more skilled labor force. Turning to India, the author shows that its policies arise from fundamental beliefs, embedded in the culture, rather than from economic conditions. Identifying the specific values that elsewhere led educators, social activists, religious leaders, trade unionists, military officers, and government bureaucrats to make education compulsory and to end child labor, he explains why similar groups in India do not play the same role.
Download or read book Education Concerns Problems Challenges and Solutions written by Dr. A. R. Purwant and published by Ashok Yakkaldevi. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original Article 45 in the Directive Principles of State Policy in the Constitution mandated the State to endeavour to provide free and compulsory education to all children up to age 14 within a period of 10 years. The national policy on Education (NPE), 1986/92, states. It seems the positive role of Universal Elementary Education (UEE) in strengthening the socio-economic base of a nation cannot be over - emphasised. Recognising the importance of it. A new Article 21A was added in Part I of the Constitution of India to make free and compulsory elementary education a fundamental right for children. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (or RTE) came into force in India with effect from 1 April 2010. Even before the RTE came into force, the Government of India's efforts were towards universalisation of elementary education in the country. This paper describes the stages through which the RTE Act has come into effect and how, in the course of implementing the RTE Act, the existing system has been changed and aligned with a view to fulfill its objectives. It also discusses how various other important schemes of the central and state governments.
Download or read book The Right to Education in India written by Florian Matthey-Prakash and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean for education to be a fundamental right, and how may children benefit from it? Surprisingly, even when the right to education was added to the Indian Constitution as Article 21A, this question barely received any attention. The book identifies justiciability—or, more broadly, enforceability—as the most important feature of Article 21A, meaning that children and their parents must be provided with means to effectively claim their right from the State; otherwise, it would remain a ‘right’ only on paper. The book highlights how lack of access to the Indian judiciary means that the constitutional promise of justiciability remains unfulfilled. It deals with the possible alternative means the State may provide for the poor to claim the benefits under Article 21A, and identifies the grievance-redress mechanism created by the ‘Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009’ as a potential system of enforcement. Even though this system is found to be deficient, the book concludes with an optimistic outlook, hoping that rights advocates may, in the future, focus on improving such mechanisms for legal empowerment.

Book excerpt: A conscious neglect of school education in the initial decades of independent India is termed by Dreze and Sen (2013) as a ‘home-grown folly’. Public services like education are key to nurture participatory growth as well as to ensure that growth improves peoples’ living conditions. However, India’s highly privatised and compartmentalised education system (largely unaccountable to the public) offers very different opportunities for various social groups and perpetuates social inequalities, instead of reducing them. Three out of four children currently out of school in India are either Dalit (32.4%), Muslim (25.7%) or Adivasi (16.6%). Enactment of the landmark RTE legislation has triggered significant improvements, but evidence shows that quality has often been neglected. While concerns regarding privatisation of education remain, RTE Act offers a first step towards an educational system in India that offers access, equity, and inclusion of all children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is both a human right in itself and an indispensable means of realizing other human rights. The right to education can be best characterized as an empowerment right as it promotes the realization of other social and economic rights. However, education is something more than mere schooling. As defined by the World Conference on Education on all, “basic education” is an action designed to meet the “basic learning needs” of every person-child, youth and adult. The scope of “basic education” has been widely understood to include among other things, “early childhood car and initial education,” bringing the issue of a child's right to primary or 'elemental' education to the forefront. Internationally, the importance of free, quality and compulsory primary education has been emphasized at several levels. The United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Children in 2002 through its outcome document titled- State of the World's Children came up with a “4 A Scheme” in this direction. Similarly, education as a right of each child has been stressed within the framework of international standards, beginning with those in the UDHR and continuing with subsequent human rights treaties, and the activities of international bodies combining to establish the right to education as a universal norm. The state obligation of providing basic education for all as part of its international obligations under the international law is contained in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; Convention on the Rights of the Child; World Declaration on Education for All and World Education Forum Dakar Framework for Action, EFA (2000). However, the absence of a monitoring or a quasi-monitoring system that would directly oblige states parties to the implementation is a serious defect of international legal protection of children. In conformity to their international obligations, states across the world have attempted to give effect to the right of primary education through constitutional provisions as well as legislative enactments. In India, the right to free and compulsory education was first incorporated in the Directive Principles of the State Policy through Article 45 of the Constitution. In 1993, this right was upheld by the Supreme Court as a fundamental right enforceable by the citizens. Through the Constitution (Eighty-sixth Amendment) Act, 2002, the right was incorporated as a separate fundamental right under Article 21-A and a duty was imposed on parents and guardians to provide opportunities to children for education under Article 51-k. As a follow up legislation in terms of Article 21-A of the Constitution of India, the Indian Parliament enacted Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 ('RTE') which came into force on 1st April, 2010. RTE is the first Central Act in education and hence, an uncharted territory for everyone. It introduces many changes that are revolutionary and if implemented properly, will vastly improve the system of imparting education in India. However, some of the provisions of the Act may have unintended consequences that might counter the advantages of the new system. The objective of this paper is to critically examine the Right to Education Act, 2009, identify the loopholes and impediments to the effective implementation of the Act and propose recommendations accordingly. The best practices from legal systems across the world have been taken as a reference point to suggest an all-encompassing model for the enforcement of a child's right to primary education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Law - Public Law / Constitutional Law / Basic Rights, Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University, language: English, abstract: Whenever the term “Affirmative action” is used, it is understood that what is being referred to is ‘positive discrimination’ or ‘reservation’, in simplest of the meanings. If one goes by its general meaning, it would mean any act done in furtherance of “fair treatment”. And with the present large awakening era our country is going through, it is time for the meaning of affirmative action to be widened and not be confined only to ‘reservation’. Affirmative action is every step taken, every action done and every statute enacted enabling every underprivileged, prejudiced, deprived person belonging to a minority group or the like, to stand equally. And, especially in case of affirmative action in education, not only shall these actions fall under the definition of ‘affirmative action’ but should also include the duties and roles of the students, parents, teachers and of society as a whole discharged in order to achieve “education for all”, as aimed for by the UNESCO. It is affirmative action when the poor family sends its ward to the nearest school for education instead of forcing him/her to get engaged with the family business. It is affirmative action when a child struggles with his parents for permission to let him go to the school, it is affirmative action when a teacher finds joy in imparting education to the children and the society encourages the school going children and the education.
