letter for seminar on fundamental rights
Answers
Explanation:
India has recognised the Right to Education (“RTE”) as a fundamental right. As distinguished from other social and economic rights (“SER”) to food, health, housing, and land, the right to education has constitutional status as a judicially enforceable right. Despite the justiciability of this right, we are today facing grave challenges with respect to its enforcement and implementation. In this regard, it has become crucial to explore the role of courts as so-called “guardians of the Constitution” as well as the respective roles of the legislature and executive in finding effective ways of systemic recourse, so as to facilitate the realization of the fundamental right to education both in letter and in spirit.
This panel will focus on the challenges faced in the adjudication and systemic enforcement of the fundamental RTE in India. Featuring lawyers, legal academics, economists and civil society groups, both from India and across the globe, this panel will discuss the next stage of the SER struggle, from their recognition as justiciable rights to their effective enforcement.
