Situation Of FLN In Indian Education System

The Free and Compulsory Education Act (also known as the Right to Education Act) was enacted in 2009 to ensure free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years in India. It aimed to provide equitable access to quality education and promote inclusive growth. However, the ground reality of the FLN (Free and Learning Notion) in the Indian education system is complex.

On one hand, the FLN has made significant strides in increasing enrollment rates, particularly in rural areas. It has helped bridge the gender gap in education and increased the overall literacy rate. The act mandated that private schools reserve 25% of seats for economically disadvantaged students, contributing to social inclusion.

On the other hand, FLN implementation is not without its difficulties. The nature of training stays a worry, with a lack of qualified educators, deficient foundation, and obsolete showing techniques predominant in numerous administration schools. Additionally, a lack of resources and socioeconomic factors continue to plague a significant number of students.

Additionally, the FLN faces financial constraints, as the government struggles to allocate sufficient funds for education. The pandemic further exacerbated disparities in access to online education, with marginalized students facing difficulties in accessing digital learning platforms.

In conclusion, while the Free and Compulsory Education Act has brought positive changes to the Indian education system, significant challenges persist. To fully realize the FLN notion, the government must focus on improving the quality of education, addressing infrastructure gaps, and increasing budgetary allocations to promote a truly inclusive and equitable education system.
