Md. Nijairul Islam, Aniruddha Chakraborty

Abstract :

One of the primary objectives of Right of Children Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 is to ensure equitable quality in the classrooms. School education can’t be separated from its social context, those who teach and learn, their attitudes, beliefs, habits and customs. The present experience of India with diversified classroom is not encouraging. The children from marginalized sections of society are being discriminated on the bases of gender, caste, and ethnicity. In this paper we have studied the awareness level of equitable quality cited in RTE act 2009 among in–service school teachers in three districts of West Bengal. The study revealed that the level of awareness among teachers included in this study is not encouraging.
