Indian Education Law And Role Of An Education Lawyer In Society

Education law deals with aspects of civil law and comprises regulations and policies which govern and monitor the education systems in India by State or Centre. Education is not only the foundation of a bright future but is a remedy for improving society holistically. The essential areas of this system are administration and working of various educational institutions, course design and structure, and constant upgrading of the teaching methods. Further, education law tends to ensure equal opportunity to all students nationwide, irrespective of any discrimination on race, religion, caste, colour, creed, sex, nationality, or disability. The scope and ambit of education law concern not only with education but the all-round development and progress of the nation as a whole.

The Indian constitution is so designed to protect the rights of every citizen, and the right to education is one such right. It assists in maintaining the legal discipline in the education system whether it’s related to kindergarten, secondary, Sr. secondary, or higher education whether regulated and managed by the state or private groups. The right to Education as enshrined under Article 21- A is a notable amendment of the Constitution of India. It demands the State to provide “free and compulsory education to all children under the age of six to fourteen years.” This right has led to the establishment of the Right to (free and compulsory) Education Act, 2009. The Act has detailed provisions regarding accessibility and quality of education.

The education sector in India has thereafter undergone a gradual change and has considerably evolved since the last decade. Besides, due to the rapid globalization the education sector has also seen improvement in quality to make room for innovations. As a law firm B&B Associates LLP has garnered an elaborate experience in handling educational law matters relating rights and liabilities of various prominent educational institutions of India, primarily operating in the northern region of the country. The firm has also carefully and diligently represented the cause of meritorious student groups whose rights have been obstructed by vindictive authoritarian action.
