Right To Basic Education

In the case of Ola Jasim, The Edinburgh Session Court, ruled that, students from Scottish migrant families have the same right to free tuition as their peers following a landmark court ruling that legal experts say highlights the positive impact of human rights legislation. The Court found that Iraqi-born Ola Jasim, who has lived in Scotland for nine years but missed the criteria for free tuition by 58 days, had her human rights violated.

The Supreme Court in the case of Mohini Jain and Unnikrishnan vs state of Andhra Pradesh ruled that the right to education is a fundamental right that flows from the Right to life in article 21 under Indian constitution. 1997, Constitutional Amendment for making education as a fundamental right was introduced.
