Padho Jalna
India’s education system faces grave crisis of foundational illiteracy. Two out of three students in classes 3 to 5 in India cannot do basic mathematical operations, and more than half cannot read a simple paragraph. Without foundational literacy, any benefits of additional education are completely lost, and schooling is of little value. Government has acknowledged this challenge in the new National Education Policy 2020.
