Explanation:

Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP):
Article 45 of the DPSP explicitly states that the government should strive to provide free and compulsory education to all children until the age of 14. This directly impacts education policy. 

Rural and Urban Local Bodies (Panchayats and Municipalities):
These local bodies are responsible for implementing various education programs within their jurisdictions, including primary and secondary education. The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments granted them this power. 

Seventh Schedule:
This schedule deals with the distribution of legislative powers between the Union and State governments. While some aspects of education might fall under the concurrent list (shared by both), the schedule itself doesn't directly address education.
