Every child aged 6 to 14 in India has the right to free and mandatory education under the Right to Education Act (RTE), ensuring access to nearby schools without facing discrimination.
The Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, language, or wealth in educational institutions, ensuring equal opportunities for all students.
Students have the right to a secure learning space without violence, bullying, or harassment. Schools must intervene and support affected students, encouraging reporting of such incidents.
Every student is entitled to quality education with qualified teachers, proper facilities, access to learning materials, a clear curriculum, assessments, and extracurricular activities.
Students have the right to voice their opinions and contribute to decisions that impact their education. This involvement can happen through student councils, committees, or feedback systems.
Students have the right to access information about academic performance, school rules, and grievance procedures. Schools should maintain transparency for easy access to relevant information.
If students' rights are violated, they have the right to seek help by approaching the school authorities, education departments, or filing complaints with bodies like the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).
