Abstract

In 2002, the right to free and compulsory primary education was added to the Indian Constitution’s fundamental rights catalogue as a new Article 21A. Fourteen years later, in spite of its elevation to the constitutional text, the right to education still shares the fate of other socio-economic rights in India: The right-bearers themselves are practically unable to claim their right in court, and therefore do not have measures to exert pressure on the state if it does not provide the right to them, except for elections. The institution of School Management Committees could enable parents to become active in the implementation of the right themselves. However, conceptual as well as implementation issues prevent this institution from providing one adequate compensation for lack of access to the courts.
