AB There are a few stunning bits of information on education in India that will put the entire matter under discussion in a proper perspective:  About half of India’s children between ages six and fourteen (82.2 million) are not in school. They stay at home to care for cattle, tend younger children, collect firewood, or work in the fields, tea stalls, or restaurants.  India has approximately half of world’s illiterates. Most children who start school drop out.  Child labour in India number from 13.6 million to 44 million or more.  Many countries in Africa, with income levels lower than India, have expanded mass education with impressive increase in literacy.  Among the groups who get little and low quality education are dalits and tribals.  Only 1% of the girls in villages who go to school move up to class XII.
