Right to Education Act remains a remarkable achievement: Vice President
He was addressing the National Stocktaking Convention being organized by the Right to Education Forum, here on Monday.
The Vice President said that in the last six years, the Right to Education Act has shown promising developments.
He further said that a critical appraisal of the functioning of the Right to Education reveals that large gaps exist in its implementation including the quality of education being provided; the high number of drop-outs and out of school children and the absence of equity in education.
The Vice President said that quantity, quality and equality are the three sides of the triangle required to ensure Right to Education.
"The decline in state funding in the key social sector programmes, including education, is of particular concern," he added.
