CSS and Right to Education: Jeopardizing Cooperative Federalism

Imagine the central government gives money to states for education, but they have to follow certain rules.

These rules, called CSS, come from the center.

Sometimes, these rules are used to make states do what the central government wants, not what is best for the people, like when they tie money to following new education rules.

This can cause problems because states might not be able to provide the best education if they have to follow rules that don't fit their needs.

This goes against the idea that the central and state governments should work together.
