Education holds the key to economic growth, social transformation, modernization and national integration. The National Policy on Education formulated in 1986 and modified in 1992 aims to provide education of comparable quality up to a given level to all students, irrespective of their caste, creed, residence or sex. It aims to promote a sense of common citizenship and composite culture and to strengthen national integration. It emphasizes the need for a radical transformation of the education system to improve its quality at all stages, with greater attention to science and technology. All children are proposed to be provided free and compulsory education up to 14 years of age. The Directorate of Education endeavors to implement this policy.
