    D Eleventh Schedule Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Directive Principles of State Policy are enumerated in Part IV of the Constitution from Articles 36 to 51. The framers of the Constitution borrowed this idea from the Irish Constitution of 1937, which had copied it from the Spanish Constitution. • The 86th Amendment Act of 2002 changed the subject-matter of Article 45 and made elementary education a fundamental right under Article 21 A. The amended directive requires the State to provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years. It also added a fundamental duty to provide opportunities for education to his child or ward between the age of six and fourteen years. Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
