RIGHT TO EDUCATION

University of Calcutta, Calcutta (Seminar held on 19th and 20th September, 1990)

- It should be categorically declared that education is a birth right of a child and "Right to Education" should be recognised as "Fundamental Right".

Dr. N.R. Madhava. Menon, Director, National Law School of India University, Central College Campus, Bangalore-560001 (Colloquium at Bangalore on 3rd November, 1990)

- Access to education has to be treated as a basic right of every individual. It is closely inter-linked with the right to information and right to work.

Prof. Khetramohan Satpathy, Article in the 'Samaj' (Oriya Daily) dated 4th November, 1990

- Right to work will be meaningless without the right to education.

- The education system should be such that it develops the mental and intellectual faculties of children.
