Introduction
The impact of education on the prevention of child labour is a very subjective issue, as education remains a privilege for many, if not luxury. It is undeniable that education is essential for the comprehensive development of the country. To assess the impact of education on child labour, we first need to understand the history of child labour in the country and how to deal with this unethical practice. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NSO), India's average literacy rate is 77.70 per cent. In order to understand why child labour occurs in the first place, it is first necessary to understand the integration of the development of modern society and why it remains a major problem. Child labour is one of many social problems that can result from a lack of education. COVID19 seems to have ruined all efforts by the Government of India to provide better education and livelihoods for children. Poor financial conditions of parents and inaccessible online education have increased the number of early dropouts worldwide. At this gentle age, children are expected to learn, play, study and dream about what they want to be in the future, but child labour robs them of their dreams and is physically and mentally to earn a little.
