Abstract: The Right to Education (RTE) Act was enacted in August 2009 to guarantee free and compulsory education to all children aged 6-14 years old in India. It is a powerful piece of legislation that specifies the duties of the government in the provision of schooling, lays down some norms and standards for the recognition of private schools, and makes provision for the inclusion of disadvantaged children in all types of schools. This short note seeks to estimate the per pupil expenditure in government elementary schools in Uttar Pradesh using the government’s own expenditure and enrolment data.
