Question- Discuss the Criticism of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act.

Ans.

Criticism of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act.

The act has been criticised for being hastily drafted, not consulting many groups active in education, not considering the quality of education, infringing on the rights of private and religious minority schools to administer their system, and for excluding children under six years of age. Many of the ideas are seen as continuing the policies of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan of the last decade, and the World Bank-funded District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) of the '90s, both of which, while having set up a number of schools in rural areas, have been criticised for being ineffective and corruption-ridden.
