Eighth Five Year Plan (1990-95) Draft Working Group Reports Education Sector

Abstract

It has come to be accepted now that planning in the Elementary Education sector has to focus on universalisation as the target. This objective is laid down in the Constitution itself : “The State shall endeavour to provide within a period of 10 years from the commencement of the constitution for free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of 14 years.”
