Socio-economic status significantly affects access to education in India, with children from lower-income families often facing multiple barriers, including financial constraints, lack of infrastructure, and social stigma. Families with limited resources may prioritize immediate survival over education, leading to dropout rates. These socio-economic disparities create inequalities in educational attainment, impacting learning opportunities. Government initiatives like the Right to Education Act aim to mitigate these challenges by providing free and compulsory education, but gaps remain. Overall, addressing socio-economic factors is crucial to achieving equitable educational access for all.
