Systems

From the research that I have found, I have only found one law that has a positive impact on the education of India. This law is The Right to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 mandates free and compulsory elementary education to all children including CWSN. "This act provides a legal framework that entitles all children between the ages of 6-14 years free and compulsory admission, attendance and completion of elementary education" (Samagra, 2020). While this act is incredibly helpful and provides a great opportunity for children to go to school, it still is not enough to get education to where it needs to be.

From the research that I have found, I have not found any systems or laws that have a negative impact on the education of India. However, there is a major common issue that really makes a major negative impact.

Child marriage is a huge issue. Not to mention the effects it has on girls' education. Child marriage is an illegal act that is still quite common in India. This practice is a main factor in child pregnancies which is why most girls don't go to school. In India " 27% of 20–24 -year -old females are married by age 18, and 7% are married by age 15 " (Raj, et al., 2019). Even though child marriage is illegal, many people still marry off their daughters. The parents of the girls arrange the marriage in exchange for money or even protection.
