Practice questions
Q1A Class III teacher notices that a girl from the neighbourhood is missing school for many days because her parents send her to graze cattle. Within the spirit of the RTE Act 2009 and the teacher's responsibility, which response is the most correct first step?
The Act treats free and compulsory schooling as the child's right and asks the teacher to support attendance, dignity and re-entry without harassment. The correct first step is a respectful family contact with a peer volunteer, a clear message that admission is her right, and a small learning catch-up so the girl can rejoin the class. Police action is not the first step, dropout marking ignores the duty, and a fresh fee is barred by Section 8.
Q2Which of the following statements about the pupil-teacher ratio under the Schedule of the RTE Act 2009 for a primary school is incorrect?
The Schedule to the RTE Act 2009 fixes a primary pupil-teacher ratio close to thirty children for one teacher. A primary school with two hundred and fifty admitted children therefore needs many more than three teachers; the wider rule is that beyond one hundred and fifty admitted children, the school needs at least one head teacher and the number of teachers must scale with the ratio. Replacing this with a slogan about experience misreads the law.
Q3The Right to Education Act 2009 gives operational shape to a fundamental right inserted into the Constitution by the Eighty-Sixth Amendment. Which constitutional article makes free and compulsory education for children aged six to fourteen a fundamental right?
The Eighty-Sixth Constitution Amendment Act 2002 inserted Article 21A which makes free and compulsory education a fundamental right for every child aged six to fourteen. The RTE Act 2009 was enacted to give this right an operational framework, including admission, attendance and quality norms.
Q4Read both statements about the RTE Act 2009 and decide which is true. Statement one: Section 17 of the Act prohibits any kind of physical punishment and mental harassment of a child in school. Statement two: The Act covers free and compulsory education only for children aged eight to sixteen years.
Section 17 clearly bans physical punishment and mental harassment in any school covered by the Act, so statement one is true. Statement two is false because the Act applies to children aged six to fourteen years, not eight to sixteen; the upper-age extension proposal exists in policy debate but is not part of the Act today.
Q5Match each section of the RTE Act 2009 in List I with the right primary-stage classroom duty in List II. List I — (a) Section 17, (b) Section 23, (c) Section 27, (d) Section 29. List II — (1) Curriculum and continuous and comprehensive evaluation, (2) Prohibition of physical punishment and mental harassment, (3) Restriction on a teacher being deployed for non-teaching duty other than census, election and disaster relief, (4) Qualification and minimum standard for a teacher entering a primary school. Which pairing is correct?
Section 17 prohibits physical punishment and mental harassment of any child. Section 23 sets the qualification and minimum standard for becoming a teacher. Section 27 restricts deploying a teacher for non-teaching work except census, election duty and disaster relief. Section 29 covers curriculum design and continuous and comprehensive evaluation of the child's understanding.
