The development of any society and Nation depends on education. That is why most of the countries of the world have accepted education as a fundamental right. A student of today should become a wise and enlightened citizen of tomorrow. School education should be compulsory for every student. The foundation of a student's education and personality is laid in school itself. His success in further education depends on the manners imparted on the students at school and the value education he receives. The importance of school education is unique as the future of a child depends on the education imparted in school. That is why the Government of India passed the Right to Education Act 2009 and it was implemented across the country from 1st April 2010 and education became a fundamental right of every child. This Act has given the right to free and compulsory education to children in the age group of 6 to 14 years. Today, ten years after the implementation of this Act, many children are still deprived of their basic right to education. In this research paper, we are going to understand the meaning of the concepts of education, child, fundamental rights and we are also going to study the success and failure of the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act of children.
