The correct answer is (a) Elementary level.
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 (RTE Act) is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted to provide free and compulsory education to all children aged 6 to 14 years. The Act was enacted on 4 August 2009 and came into force on 1 April 2010.
The Act provides for free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years, irrespective of their gender, caste, religion, disability, or place of residence. The Act also provides for a number of safeguards to ensure that all children have access to quality education. These safeguards include the establishment of a National and State Commissions for Protection of Child Rights, the appointment of Child Protection Officers, and the setting up of Special Juvenile Police Units.
The Act has been widely welcomed by civil society organizations and activists. They have hailed it as a landmark legislation that will go a long way in ensuring the right to education for all children in India. However, some critics have pointed out that the Act is not without its flaws. They have argued that the Act is not adequately funded and that the government has not done enough to ensure that all children have access to quality education.
Despite its flaws, the RTE Act is a significant step forward in the fight for the right to education in India. It is a landmark legislation that will go a long way in ensuring that all children in India have access to quality education.
The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the scope of the RTE Act. The RTE Act does not provide for free and compulsory education beyond the elementary level.
