Government bodies run more than 90 percent of the nation's primary schools

and most of them are non-performing institutions. The non-performance of these

schools is the main reason why majority of their students complete four or five years

of education, and do not acquire the literacy and numeracy skills expected after the

first two years of schooling.

About 80 percent of our middle schools - standards V-VIll or VI-VIII are run

by government bodies. These schools are likely to be as unaccountable and non-

performing as their primary counterparts. Remedial work is rarely done to strengthen

the weak learning levels of more than 2,500 students studying in standard VII.

The neglect of fundamental learning skills continues in high school. Many do

not complete high school, spending dreary years in classrooms without purpose and

enjoyment, dimly comprehending a fraction of what is taught. Consequently, it should

not be too surprising that about half of our students fail in the secondary school board

examination. Those joining college find that they are further handicapped by their

weaker knowledge. (about 182 words)​
