Education finds mention in many different parts of the Constitution: (i) Directive Principles (Art. 41, 45, 46) explicitly direct the State to provide education; (ii) the Eleventh and Twelfth Schedules list ‘education’ as a function of Panchayats and Municipalities, so Rural and Urban Local Bodies are relevant; (iii) both the Fifth and Sixth Schedules empower tribal bodies to make regulations on social welfare including schools for Scheduled/Tribal areas; and (iv) the Seventh Schedule places ‘education’ in the Concurrent List. Hence all five items bear upon education. ([edurev.in](https://edurev.in/t/234276/UPSC-Previous-Year-Questions--Prelims--Directive-Principles-of-State-Policy?utm_source=openai))
