Through which Amendment of the Constitution has the Right to Education became a Fundamental Right ?
Answer: D
The Right to Education became a Fundamental Right through the Eighty-sixth Constitutional Amendment.
The 86th Amendment Act, 2002 inserted Article 21A, which requires the state to provide free and compulsory education to all children aged 6 to 14. It also changed Article 45 to cover early childhood care and education and added a fundamental duty on parents in Article 51A(k). The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 put Article 21A into effect from 1 April 2010.
The First Amendment (1951) concerned land reform and free speech, the 42nd (1976) made sweeping changes including the Fundamental Duties, and the 44th (1978) removed the right to property from the Fundamental Rights.
