Education is a concurrent subject implying concurrent responsibility for both the Centre and State. The Right of Children to free and compulsory education Act, 2009 was enacted by the Parliament. Subsequently, state governments have framed the rules under the RTE Act. Also, both MHRD and State Governments have released several notifications related to RTE Act.

The State legislatures have enacted their own school education Acts three-four decades back. These Acts have their corresponding rules. Also, notifications are being issued by the State Education Department from time to time.

Here you can find a comprehensive list of Acts, Rules & Notifications governing the elementary education space in your state.

The enactment of the Right to Education Act and later National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) has stirred researchers to investigate and re-calibrate how to deliver quality education to children. There has been a large number of studies on school education in general, and specifically on NEP 2020 and RTE. Here is a list of state reports and case studies relevant to Uttar Pradesh

The 86th amendment to the constitution making education a fundamental right, and subsequent enactment of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act giving effect to the constitutional amendment, has resulted in a big role for judiciary in ensuring that education as a right of a child isn't violated.

With RTE coming into force on Apr 1, 2010, there has been a plethora of cases filed in the High Courts and Supreme Court. Here, you can find the High Court judgements of your state. For Supreme Court judgements, go to Resources -> Judgements.

State Commission for Protection of Child Rights is a body created to monitor the implementation of Right to Education Act at the state level. In states where SCPCR hasn't been created, RTE Act madates the creation of Right to Education Protection Authority (REPA).

SCPCR acts as an important institution to redress RTE related grievances. First step of grievance redressal is at the School Management Committee. If that does not happen, the next step would be to file a complaint to the local authority. If the grievance has still not been redressed, the complainant could appeal to the SCPCR.

National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights
