In which year was the Right to Education (RTE) Act enacted?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The Right to Education (RTE) Act, enacted in 2009, ensures free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years. Section 16 of the Act initially introduced a no-detention policy, prohibiting the retention of students up to Class 8 to reduce dropout rates and encourage learning without fear of failure. However, the policy was later amended in 2019 to allow student retention based on performance. The implementation of the amended rules in 2024 aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and introduces revised promotion criteria, remedial instruction, and a focus on holistic development to address learning gaps effectively.
