Abstract: This article examines the positive outcomes of legal education in higher secondary schools and highlight the significance of legal knowledge and awareness at higher secondary school levels. The objective is to familiarize individuals with the law and enable them to better adhere to it. It is crucial to develop a curriculum tailored to the needs of school-going students, without overburdening their coursework, and to make legal studies more engaging through the use of important provisions of major and minor laws, short films, moot courts, and village level educational and cultural programs. By nurturing law as a professional course and positioning it on par with other professional disciplines, high and higher secondary school students are presented with an additional esteemed career option. While numerous law universities have made significant strides in this transformation, there remains a pressing need to disseminate fundamental legal education at the school level. However, CBSE and ICSE schools may touch upon certain aspects of law and legal rights as part of their social science or civics curriculum, comprehensive legal education is typically not provided at the school level under these boards. Consequently, the aim is to advocate for the promotion of legal education in high and higher secondary schools of all state boards and private schools.
