Section 35 of RTE Act : Section 35: Power To Issue Directions

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where the Central Government realizes that many children in rural areas are not able to access their right to education due to a lack of transportation facilities. To address this, the Central Government, under Section 35(1) of The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, issues guidelines to the State Governments to arrange transportation for these children to ensure they can attend school regularly.

Following this, a State Government, as the appropriate Government, under Section 35(2), issues specific guidelines to all its districts (local authorities) to assess the transportation needs for children in their respective zones and to collaborate with local bus services to facilitate this transportation.

Consequently, a District Education Officer (local authority), under Section 35(3), directs the School Management Committees in the district to coordinate with the identified bus services and create a monthly schedule for pickup and drop-off of students, ensuring effective implementation of the Central and State Government guidelines.
