PIL filed in Supreme Court seeking common syllabus, curriculum for children across India

A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking introduction of a common syllabus and curriculum for children across India.

Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay has filed a PIL in the Supreme Court seeking introduction of a common syllabus and curriculum for children across India. He has filed the PIL against certain sections of the Right to Education Act-2009 for being "arbitrary and irrational".

Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay said that sections 1 (4) and 1 (5) of the RTE Act are the biggest barrier in expounding the Constitution and the absence of a common curriculum in mother language leads to the fostering and perpetuation of ignorance.
