23. RIGHT TO EDUCATION ACT
'Right to Education Act also known as RTE',
is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted
on 4 August 2009, which describes the
modalities of the importance of free and
compulsory education for children between 6
and 14 in India under Article 21A of
the Indian Constitution

24. • India became one of 135
countries to make education a
fundamental right of every
child when the act came into
force on 1 April 2010.
• . ‘Compulsory education’ casts
an obligation on the
appropriate Government and
local authorities to provide
and ensure admission,
attendance and completion of
elementary education by all
children in the 6-14 age group.

25. • The Act requires all private schools(except the
minority institutions) to reserve 25% of seats
for the poor and other categories of children (to
be reimbursed by the state as part of the public-
private partnership plan)
• It also prohibits all unrecognised schools from
practice, and makes provisions for no donation
or capitation fees and no interview of the child
or parent for admission.
• The Act also provides that no child shall be
held back, expelled, or required to pass a board
examination until the completion of elementary
education.

26. National Literacy Mission
The National Literacy Mission (NLM) is a
nationwide program started by Government
of India in 1988.

27. • It aims to educate 80 million adults in the age
group of 15 - 35 over an eighty-year period.
• By "literacy", the NLM means not only learning
how to read, write and count but also helping
people understand why they are deprived and
helping them move towards change.
• NLM works under the guidance of the National
Literacy Mission Authority, an independent wing
of the Ministry of Human Resources and
Development.

28. • NLM initially had two flagship programs - "Total
Literacy" and "Post literacy". The initiative was
revitalized on 30 September, 1999, when they
were combined as a single program: 'Literacy
Campaigns and Operation Restoration‘
• NLM works with NGOs across the country,
providing financial assistance for those that
actively participate.
• NLM releases funds for each district. While the
ratio between centre and state is 2:1, it is 4:1 for
tribal sub-plan districts.

29. ADULT EDUCATION
• Adult education is a practice in which adults
engage in systematic and sustained self–
educating activities in order to gain new forms of
knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values.
• Adult education reflects a specific philosophy
about learning and teaching based on the
assumption that adults can and want to learn,
that they are able and willing to take
responsibility for that learning, and that the
learning itself should respond to their needs

30. Adult learning can be in any of the three contexts:
• Formal – Structured learning that typically takes
place in an education or training institution, usually
with a set curriculum and carries credentials;
• Non-formal – Learning that is organized by
educational institutions but non credential. Non-
formal learning opportunities may be provided in
the workplace and through the activities of civil
society organizations and groups;
• Informal education – Learning that goes on all the
time, resulting from daily life activities related to
work, family, community or leisure (e.g. community
baking class)
