This book, titled “Inclusivity in School Infrastructure: A Study of the Indian Right to Education Act 2009,” examines how the Indian Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009 highlights the significance of adequate school infrastructure in delivering quality education. It points out that while Sections 18 and 19 of the Act impose stringent infrastructural requirements on private schools, government schools are expected to adhere to these norms without rigorous enforcement. The author contends that this disparity undermines accountability and weakens the criteria for liability. The Supreme Court of India has noted that fully privatizing primary education is impractical, as it would isolate a substantial segment of the population from educational opportunities. This inconsistency reveals a gap in maintaining equal standards across all schools, potentially jeopardizing the Act's aim of achieving universal education. The author asserts that infrastructure is a fundamental necessity and should be uniformly enforced in all educational institutions.
