AIFRTE Campaign

The All India Forum for Right to Education (AIFRTE), a federal platform of 75 plus students' and teachers' organisations and educational rights groups from 22 states/UTs. 
Since its inception, AIFRTE has been struggling to build a fully state-funded entirely free Common Education System based on mother tongue in a multi-lingual context as medium of education - including a Common School System founded on Neighbourhood Schools from pre-primary stage to Class XII. It shall exclude disparities and include diversities; promote equality and social justice; and be governed in democratic, federal and participative mode as per the Constitutional imperative. AIFRTE has endeavoured to fight against inequalities, discrimination and socio-cultural, linguistic & 'normal body' hegemonies reinforced by the present multi-layered, fund-starved, fee-charging and incrementally privatised and commercialised education whose curriculum is designed to convert knowledge into tradable commodity.
