The Right to Education in India

The Importance of Enforceability of a Fundamental Right

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What does it mean for education to be a fundamental right, and how may children benefit from it? Whoever has a "right" must also be able to claim that right, and not be dependent on the state choosing to provide for the right out of its own benevolence. This book shows why this aspect is of core importance for the right to education, and how the constitutional promise might be made a reality.
