title = {School Management Committees as a Means for Bottom-Up Implementation of the Right to Education in India},
year = {2016},
note = {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.},
