Chapter-6: Offence and Fine
The right to education does not give you the right to learn whatever you want, wherever
you want. The courts have ruled that the right to education relates to the education
system that already exists. It does not require the government to provide or subsidize
any specific type of education.
The government is allowed to regulate the way education is delivered. For example, it
can pass laws making education compulsory or imposing health and safety requirements
on schools. Schools are allowed to use admission policies so long as they are objective
and reasonable.
Although parents have a right to ensure their religious or philosophical beliefs are
respected during their children’s education, this is not an absolute right. As long as these
beliefs are properly considered, an education authority can depart from them provided
there are good reasons and it is done objectively, critically and caters for a diversity of
beliefs and world views.
Example case - R (Hounslow London Borough Council) v
School Admissions Appeal Panel for Hounslow London
Borough Council [2002]
The admissions policy of a primary school in West London prioritized
children who lived in the school’s designated catchment area. This
meant that some children who lived outside this area, but who had
brothers or sisters attending the school, were not admitted because
of the pressure on class sizes. A group of parents challenged this
decision. The court held that the school’s admission policy did not
violate the right to education. It emphasised that, where applications
exceed the number of school places, admissions authorities have to
use a fair process to make practical, objective decisions. Among
other things, this means that each application must be properly
considered on its merits before a final decision is made.
Nepal’s constitution and compulsory education act are
more progressive than UN Conventions and other
constitutions in terms of ensuring education as a
human right.
Three years after the promulgation of the constitution, the parliament enacted
Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act. The Act says that every child
in the age group of 4-13 has the right to ‘free and compulsory education
in a neighbourhood school, till the completion of basic education. Likewise,
children are also allowed to receive free secondary education.
To ensure this right, the appropriate government, which means central
government or provincial governments and its affiliates, is shouldered with a
duty to provide school within two kilometres walking distance from children’s
residents.
There is mandate for private schools as well.
The Act commands them to set aside 10
percent seats for scholarship candidates
where the number of students stands up to
500, and 12 percent and 15 percent
scholarship seats where the number of
students is up to 800 and above 800,
respectively.
Uprooting illiteracy
Nepal has put in place strict legal arrangements to eradicate illiteracy.
The 2018 act strictly instructs the parents to enroll their students in
schools. It envisages that if they fail to admit their students in schools
or deprive them from acquiring basic level education, they would be
deprived from the facilities provided by the local bodies.
The local bodies are mandated to hold dialogues with the reluctant
parents and convince them to ensure the access of education to their
children.
