Right to Education in India

Meer over het boek

Recognizing education as a fundamental human right, this book explores international conventions, particularly the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which mandates free primary education and equitable access to secondary and higher education. It highlights alarming statistics from 2019, where 260 million children lacked school access, largely due to social inequality. Additionally, the Human Rights Measurement Initiative's assessment of educational rights across various countries based on income levels provides a critical lens on global disparities in education access.
