The Right to education primer is a series of articles on the Right to Education Act created by the NCPCR to explain the law in simple terms. For the other sections of the primer click here.
59. If any of the rights are not being met, where can a complaint be lodged?
Complaints can be lodged at the Gram Panchayat or Block Education Office. Or even at the SCPCR or NCPCR. Finally complaints can also be taken to the courts, as education is now a justiciable fundamental right of all children in the age group 6-14 years.
NCPCR is setting up a centralized helpline, on which complaints can be received. This helpline will simultaneously register the complaint at the appropriate education office as well, so that follow up can be efficiently monitored.
