Paper Details

The Right to Education Act (2009) intends to provide free and compulsory Elementary Education to children between the ages of 6 to 14, irrespective of their gender, caste, creed, or family status. The Elementary school system in rural areas has undergone numerous revisions and adaptations. In the modern era, there have been developments and improvements to the rural education system. However, there is still a need for improvement in the rural Elementary education sector in West Bengal as well as in India, and it is not on par with the metropolitan education system. Rural inhabitants are better equipped to recognize the significance of education and sustain their way of life as the rural elementary school system is improved. Students now have more opportunities than ever before to further their educational knowledge and abilities. The key topics addressed in this paper are the goals of rural Elementary education, the current state of the rural elementary education sector in West Bengal, and the steps that can be taken to improve rural Elementary education, as well as initiatives undertaken by the Indian government to advance rural Elementary education in West Bengal and throughout India.
