Q40.
Which of the following provisions of the Constitution of India have a bearing on Education? 1. Directive Principles of State Policy. 2. Rural and Urban Local Bodies. 3. Fifth Schedule 4. Sixth Schedule 5. Seventh Schedule Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Answer
C
Explanation
Seventh Schedule determines whether Education is a Union, State or Concurrent matter (it is in Concurrent List). Sixth Schedule provides for education including primary, secondary, higher secondary, vocational training, adult education, and college education (general). Rural and Urban Local Bodies (73rd and 74th amendments) include education as a function. DPSP has provisions related to free and compulsory education for children (Art 45). The Fifth Schedule does NOT specifically mention education. So 1, 2, and 5 are correct.
