IMPORTANCE OF RTE
Right to education is the first step toward decreasing property. It provides the children with education for their bright future. Education plays an important role in one life, it empowers the person to think beyond limits, help in building confidence and self-esteem.
Education provides stability in life, financial security, self dependency. A person is aware of what is beneficial for them and they get to know about their rights. An educated person knows all the rules and regulation of the Government and they also understand the importance of education and they are fully aware of the contribution in making the country developed.
MY VIEW
Education is base for being a good human being. Article 21a provides right to education to children aged 6 to 14 years, but it’s not the end of the education , it’s just the beginning of a education life of a person. Where a person start learning a good morals, beliefs, respecting elders, loving younger ones, with quality life. It’s the first step towards enlighting their life.
There should be no barriers independently. Everyone of any age group who want to learn or acquire knowledge can be a part of this. Education boost your life and take a person to a next level where you can spend quality of life independently.
