Evaluating the Awareness and Implementation of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education, 2009 amongst Primary School Teachers for Quality Education in India

Education enables individuals to get to knowledge and skills specifying the scope of right that they hold, and government's commitments. It bolsters individuals to build up the relational abilities to claim these rights, the certainty to talk in a forum, and the capacity to consult with and the government authorities and political powers, on behalf of those who are deprived of such right. The Indian Constitution has perceived the significance of education for social change and is focused on social equity. Education is therefore a key for a better economic future for the country through dissemination of more knowledge through the new act, which will be implemented with sincerity, to s secure the right guarantees under Article 21 A of the Indian constitution. It is a Survey Study in which the required data was collected using the Questionnaire developed by the investigator. The research design used in this study was both ‘descriptive’ and ‘exploratory’. The data was analysed using mixed methods, i.e., qualitative and quantitative. In the present study, 155 teachers of government and private schools of Ujjain District constituted of the sample.
