    The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE Act) was passed in 2009 to provide free and compulsory education to all children between 6-14 years old in India as a fundamental right. At independence in 1951, India's literacy rate was only 19.1% and government efforts since then such as the National Literacy Mission and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan aimed to improve access to education. The RTE Act set quality standards for schools and mandated 25% reservation of seats for disadvantaged groups. While enrollment increased after the RTE Act, many schools still lack adequate infrastructure and teachers to fully comply with the Act.
