The Right to Education Act (RTE) guarantees free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years in India. It aims to eliminate barriers to enrollment, ensuring that children from all backgrounds have access to quality education. The RTE mandates that private schools reserve a proportion of seats for underprivileged children and imposes responsibilities on both the state and parents to provide necessary facilities. Additionally, it sets standards for teacher qualifications and student-teacher ratios, promoting a conducive learning environment conducive for all children.
