| Preamble |
|
In a country where 90% of all children in the 6-14 age group go to a public school, any meaningful effort to improve the educational standards of the new generation should necessarily start here.
On the whole, there has been little change in the state of India's schooling system over the past decades. Though there have been a few interesting ideas that have been experimented with to help improve the standards in niche segments, none of them - however well intended - can make up for the poor condition of the government school system and should not be viewed as a substitute for government-funded schools
