Accepted Answer

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948. This declaration represents the first international expression of human rights to which all human beings are entitled. It is described as the International Magna Carta. The Constitution of India has a rich content of human rights. The Preamble, the Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy reflect the principles and provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948).The four ideals of the Preamble are aimed at the promotion of human rights. They are as under:Justice in social, economic and political spheresLiberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worshipEquality of status and opportunityFraternity assuring the dignity of the individualThe Fundamental Rights under Part-III of the Constitution contain an elaborate list of civil and political rights divided into six categories:Right to equalityRight to freedomRight against exploitationRight to freedom of religionCultural and educational rightRight to constitutional remediesThe Directive Principles of State Policy in Part-IV of the Constitution comprise economic, social and cultural rights.Article 26 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit. Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace. Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.All this is reflected in the Fundamental Duty Article 51-A(k): Who is a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to his child or, as the case may be, ward between the age of six and fourteen years. Hence all the options are correct.
