The Gujarat High Court has ruled that parents who force children under the age of three to attend preschool are committing an "illegal act." The court dismissed a batch of pleas challenging the state government's decision to set the minimum age limit for Class 1 admission. It stated that forcing children below three years to attend preschool violates the Right to Education Act. The court emphasized the importance of early childhood care and education in preparing children for formal schooling. The ruling came after parents sought leniency for their children who did not meet the age requirement.
