    Solution

    In India, the right to education is recognized as a fundamental right for children between six and fourteen years of age. This right was established through the Constitution (Eighty-sixth Amendment) Act of 2002, which introduced Article 21-A to the Indian Constitution. This article guarantees free and compulsory education for all children in this age group as a Fundamental Right. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act of 2009 implements this constitutional provision, ensuring that every child has access to quality elementary education in formal schools that meet essential standards.
