BRTE grants a fundamental right to all children to free and compulsory education ✓ Correct
CThe 86th Constitutional Amendment was enacted in 2002 to implement RTE
DThe RTE Act was enacted in August 2009 and came into effect from April 2010
Correct answer: (B) RTE grants a fundamental right to all children to free and compulsory education — The incorrect statement is that RTE grants the right to all children.
Explanation
★The incorrect statement is that RTE grants the right to all children.
★In fact the RTE gives the right to children of the age group six to fourteen.
★RTE was enacted under Article 21-A of the Constitution.
★The 86th Amendment of 2002 inserted the right to education.
★The RTE Act was enacted in 2009 and came into effect in 2010.
★So the right is limited to children aged six to fourteen, not all children.
★Hence the not-correct statement is the one about all children.
