Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Ravi is a 10-year-old boy living in a small village in India. His parents are daily wage laborers and cannot afford to send him to a private school. Under Article 21A of the Constitution of India, Ravi is entitled to free and compulsory education. The local government school in his village must admit him without charging any fees and provide him with the necessary educational materials. If the school refuses to admit Ravi or charges fees, his parents can file a complaint with the local education authorities, who are legally obligated to ensure Ravi's right to education is upheld.
Example 2:
Meena is a 7-year-old girl living in an urban slum in Mumbai. Her parents are unaware of their rights under Article 21A of the Constitution of India. A local NGO informs them that Meena is entitled to free and compulsory education. The NGO helps Meena's parents enroll her in the nearest government school. The school provides Meena with textbooks, uniforms, and mid-day meals at no cost. If the school fails to provide these essentials, the NGO can take legal action to ensure Meena's right to education is protected, ensuring she receives the education she is entitled to under the law.
