Public schools have been abandoned by everyone but the very poorest - the facilities are terrible even by 3rd world standards, and worse, the public schools push the eduction in the native languages, which is (very sadly) next to worthless economically in India. The above disempowerment of India's natives, their culture and languages, is the direct result of the Indian state continuing colonial policies of very unfairly advantaging the Anglicized elites, educationally, socially, politically and thus economically. Now that the state has completely failed in its duties, yet again, it has passed a new RTE act, in which it further burdens private schools, targeting esp. those run by Hindus. The Indian state in all its 'secular' glory, decided also to favor the Christian missionary schools, the very ones that were instrumental in destroying the country (and China), by sparing them of the same burdens. https://swarajyamag.com/magazine/the-evidence-is-compelling-... https://swarajyamag.com/politics/rte-benefits-minority-schoo... The Indian political estd. and the state is disgusting. Quite frankly, the British for all their faults, atleast knew how to keep a public-schooling and university system running. The 'Brown Babus' are little more than self-conceited idiots wearing fancy suits. |
I hear this a lot but does it have to be so? AFAIK China, Japan, and South Korea also educate students in their native languages and that hasn't hindered their development.
