Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to strike down Section 3 of The Tamil Nadu Uniform System of School Education (Amendment) Act, 2011, emphasizing that it contravened the provisions of The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, particularly Section 29 which mandates a uniform curriculum. The Court held that the State must implement the common syllabus as per the Act 2010, ensuring free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years. The Court directed the State Authorities to comply with the High Court's order to implement the provisions of the Act 2010 without delay.
