Why Education
Once, Confucius said, “If your plan is for one year, plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years, educate children.” Literacy is the beginning of access to such a world of knowledge and freedom. Development is quantitative change, which is always positive
Extent of the problem
The number of teachers has gone up substantially and the average Pupil-Teacher Ratio comes close to the required levels. However, this does not solve the problem of quality. Large number of teachers are not qualified to teach, yet they are teaching. According to a rough estimate, out of 8 million teachers, around 1.4 million fall in this category.
