Modern Education in India | Primary Indian Educational Systems
Education in India is transforming from one of the poorest and lowest quality in the developing world to one that is an innovator and leader. Education in India has a long way to go to get caught up to the western standards of education but India is making bold decisions that will help all their students.
Incredible acts of charity from those that have experienced it the least.
Sanjeev visits some impressive young students taking time out of their school day to help teach street children the same syllabus. That's recycled learning, Indian style, and it makes a big impression on our presenter in this BBC Worldwide video clip.
Education in India falls under the control of both the Union Government and the states, with some responsibilities lying with the Union and the states having autonomy for others. The various articles of the Indian Constitution provide for education as a fundamental right. Most universities in India are controlled by the Union or the State Government.
India has made progress in terms of increasing primary education attendance rate and expanding literacy to approximately two thirds of the population.[3] India's improved education system is often cited as one of the main contributors to the economic rise of India.[4] Much of the progress especially in Higher education, Scientific research has been credited to various public institutions. The private education market in India is merely 5%[citation needed] although in terms of value is estimated to be worth $40 billion in 2008 and will increase to $78 billion by 2012[citation needed].
However, India continues to face stern challenges. Despite growing investment in education, 25% of its population is still illiterate; only 15% of Indian students reach high school, and just 7%, of the 15% who make it to high school, graduate.[5] The quality of education whether at primary or higher education is significantly poor as compared with major developing nations. As of 2008, India's post-secondary institutions offer only enough seats for 7% of India's college-age population, 25% of teaching positions nationwide are vacant, and 57% of college professors lack either a master's or PhD degree.[6]
As of 2011, there are 1522 degree-granting engineering colleges in India with an annual student intake of 582,000,[7] plus 1,244 polytechnics with an annual intake of 265,000. However, these institutions face shortage of faculty and concerns have been raised over the quality of education. Wiki

For millions of India's poorest children, education is a luxury, not a right. Many impoverished young people live in slums and help support their families by taking on odd jobs.
Since 2001 all Indian primary schools have provided pupils with a free midday meal. Seven years on truancy rates have been slashed, and child health is soaring. Western governments are taking note.
