Implementing the Central government’s Right to Education Act in the Northeast will be a unique challenge for both the states and the Center. The act outlines specific guidelines for the proximity and infrastructure of every school. According to the act, every neighborhood must have a school within walking distance. These schools must comply with the exact infrastructure requirements designated in the bill. This includes such provisions as classroom structures, playgrounds, learning materials and libraries. The number of teachers, caliber of instruction and curriculum are to be nationally standardized for all primary and secondary schools.
