The City of Bombay Primary Education Act, 1920

The City of Bombay Primary Education Act, 1920, serves as a legislative framework designed to facilitate and regulate primary education within the region of Greater Bombay. It operates as a supplementary statute to the City of Bombay Municipal Act, 1888, effectively integrating educational administration into the existing municipal governance structure. The Act establishes foundational definitions, specifically identifying the age range for children subject to the Act (six to eleven years) and clarifying the responsibilities of parents and guardians. By defining these parameters, the Act provides the legal basis for the Education Committee to mandate and oversee school attendance for children in the region.
