Implementation of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009: Status Report After One Year & A Half , A Mid-term Review by Civil Society in Bihar August 2011

Abstract

From Introduction: There is a widespread and growing sense of exasperation evident in the country today. This stems from a realization of the increasing gap between the rich and the poor, and between expectations and possibilities on the one hand and achievement and ground reality on the other hand. Concurrently, a mood of confrontation is building up, particularly between the state and the common people. Unless channelised into a mode of orderly change and imparted a pro-people direction, it may lead to a chaotic situation. Education is the best bet against disorder and injustice. RTE Act, in whatever form, has come at this juncture.
