This doesn't contradicts that lack of funding is a problem, at least in the country from where I come public school teachers are usually underpaid and it can be hard to attract and keep the good ones without it.

It isn't - public schooling was in a far better shape/quality 40-50 years back, when the Indian Boomers were growing up.

This was a time of war and food-shortages; funding clearly is not the problem.
