In our constitution, the subject of Education is included in concurrent list. It means that .................. .
The subject of education is the responsibility of both union and state government
The Seventh Schedule of the Constitution divides subjects into the Union List, the State List and the Concurrent List. Subjects in the Concurrent List can be legislated upon by both Parliament and the State Legislatures.
Education was originally a State subject. The 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976 transferred it to the Concurrent List (Entry 25), so that the Union and the States share responsibility for education, with Union law prevailing in case of conflict.
Therefore it is not the concern of only the union government or only the state government, and the President does not personally handle education.
Hence, placing education in the Concurrent List means that the subject of education is the responsibility of both union and state government.
