Why patchwork education models for homeless and migrant children still fall short
In several Indian cities, night shelters, bridge school programs, and seasonal hostels have been created to reach out to the children who cannot avail regular schooling due to homelessness, migration, or economic compulsion. Although these initiatives have shown success in patches, serious questions persist about their scalability, integration into formal schooling, and long-term effects.
Under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, free education is guaranteed to all children between six and 14 years. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan goes a step further by urging targeted strategies for migration-affected children, including seasonal hostels and special training to help retain them in age-appropriate classes.
