In order to revamp the Indian education system, the Union government has recently decided to provide free education to students studying in all state-run schools across the nation up till class 10.

The Human Resource Development (HRD) ministry has planned to refurbish the old system of free education under the new plan; the secondary education system will be changed to ensure universal education. At the e-launch of UNICEF’s The State of the World’s Children Report- 2016 on Tuesday, Dr SC Khuntia, secretary, school education and literacy said, “We have formed a committee in the HRD ministry to evaluate the education for classes 9 and 10, which should be universalized”

Meanwhile, under the present education system, free and compulsory education is given to students only till class 8.
