Answer :

Answer: B Education in India is provided by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control and funding coming from three levels: central, state, and local. Under various articles of the Indian Constitution, free and compulsory education is provided as a fundamental right to children between the ages of 6 and 14. To begin with research should be undertaken to assess how far distance education has actually made education accessible. In India, about 10% of total enrolment in higher education is through distance education. This 10% is of the 6% of the age group 18-23 who join higher education. Further this 6% enrollment in higher education is actually 60% of those who are eligible to join higher education.
