Result

Your answer: — · Correct: B

Explanation

The 86^th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002 made education a Fundamental Right by inserting Article 21A into the Constitution. This article mandates that the State provide free and compulsory education to all children aged six to fourteen years.

The amendment also impacted other parts of the Constitution:

Article 45 (DPSP): It changed the subject matter to provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years.
Article 51A (Fundamental Duties): It added a new fundamental duty (k) for parents or guardians to provide opportunities for education to their child or ward between the age of six and fourteen years.

To implement this right, the Parliament enacted the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act in 2009.
