what ails to

why aren't we able to influence elementary education. today we see mushrooming of schools and colleges in the cities. is any one realizing what's happening in the villages. schools have no children! why does village parent send sibling to schools, certainly for better future. what if future is uncertain and crippled by lack of facilities.
it is been 60 years, we are still where we were? we used to blame british for the lack of support for elementary education. now, whom should a parent blame? is any one listening?
yes, we have been through the government schooling but we are in better position. oh! things were different, then. why and where does gap exists?
let us look at spending on the schools, schools are with material and matter (building), few without! each government schools (primary, 1-5 class), irrepespective of enrollment, gets about Rs. 5000 (school grant), Rs. 5000 (maintenance grant), Rs. 500 (TLM grant), about 2k+ for drinking water, sanitation and what not.
every year, Rs. 3000 is spent on each child for educating (mind you, literacy skill) and aghast! not all children of class 4 can read class 2 or 3 text book. leave alone other non academic orientation.
i will also try to speak on teacher training, classroom practices, all in the context of government schools...
