ABSTRACT
In this article, it is discussed whether Ed-Tech platforms that undertake core pedagogical activities traditionally the prerogative of physical schools ought to be treated as an educational institution in the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, in the context of constitutional and judicial interpretation. The analysis takes a functional and purposive approach, in that the substantive pedagogical role carried on by an entity should govern education law and not the physical form. The article also suggests a rights-based regulatory model based on functional classification, quality assurance in education, protection of child data, and the responsibility of AI-mediate learning systems where the goal is to make digital education regulation comply with the constitutional requirement involving Article 21A.
Keywords: Learning Establishments, Educational Technology Regulation, Right of Education (RTE), Pedagogy Supported by Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence Systems, Digital Learning Environments.
