Statements

1. Since education is placed in the Concurrent List of the Seventh Schedule, both Parliament and State Legislatures have the power to legislate on it, but in the event of a conflict between Central and State laws, the Central law prevails.
2. The placement of education on the Concurrent List means that the operational and administrative responsibility for government schools automatically vests exclusively with the Central Government, with States acting merely as implementing agencies.
