Abstract:
'Education for all' is one of the cherished goals of our constitution. Since
independence, lot of efforts are made to universalize education and to a large
extent we are successful also in achieving the required goal of universalization of
elementary education in our country. Elementary Education, being the base of all
other ladders, occupies prominent place in the whole educational setup. With all
this special attention was paid to the extension and spread of Elementary Education
after the Independence. Section 45 of the Constitution of India and its later
amendments also made a provision of free and compulsory education to all
children within a period of 10 years from the commencement of the Constitution.
Right to education, further, abolishes child labor and promotes education. The
overall goal is to provide free and compulsory education of better quality to all
children.
