Originally, Article 45 stated that the State shall endeavour to provide free and compulsory education to all children up to the age of 14 years within 10 years from the commencement of the Constitution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, since it was part of the Directive Principles, it was non-justiciable. That means it could not be enforced in a court of law. It imposed a moral and constitutional duty on the State, but not a legally enforceable right for citizens. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Article 45 was made non-justiciable because, at the time of Independence, India lacked sufficient financial and administrative resources to immediately guarantee universal education as a legally enforceable right.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>About Directive Principles of State Policy<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/upsc-exam\/directive-principles-of-state-policy-dpsp\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Directive Principles of State Policy<\/strong><\/a> (DPSPs) are contained in <\/span><b>Part IV (Articles 36-51)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the Constitution.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The framers of the Constitution <\/span><b>borrowed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this idea from the <\/span><b>Irish Constitution of 1937<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which had copied it from the Spanish Constitution.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. B.R.
