Fixing the broken education system to achieve breakthrough holistic outcomes
Our solution focuses on achieving the triple bottom line of Access, Equity and Quality of education.
Access – It should be accessible to even the poorest of the poor with all kinds of need. Say, evening classes for children who can’t attend day schools.
Equity – It should not discriminate between gender, rural – urban, caste or religion of the child.
Quality – The education system should focus not only on enrolment but also the quality of education.

Quality of Education In India
India is young country with around 28% of the population in the 0-14 age group. Education in India is provided by public schools (controlled and funded by three levels: central, state and local) and private schools. Under various articles of the Indian Constitution, free and compulsory education is provided as a fundamental right to children between the ages of 6 and 14. The approximate ratio of public schools to private schools in India is 7:5. India has made progress in increasing the attainment rate of primary education. In 2011, Approximately 75% of the population, aged between 7 to 10 years, was literate. India's improved education system is often cited as one of the main contributors to its economic development. Much of the progress, especially in higher education and scientific research, has been credited to various public institutions. While enrollment in higher education has increased steadily over the past decade, reaching a Gross Enrollment Ratio of 24% in 2013, there still remains a significant distance to catch up with tertiary education enrollment levels of developed nations, a challenge that will be necessary to overcome in order to continue to reap a demographic dividend from India's comparatively young population. In January 2019, India had over 900 universities and 40,000 colleges. In India's higher education system, a significant number of seats are reserved under affirmative action policies for the historically disadvantaged Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. In universities, colleges, and similar institutions affiliated to the federal government, there is a maximum 50% of reservations applicable to these disadvantaged groups, at the state level it can vary. Although huge amounts of significant progress have been made since independence in the arena of education, there is still a long way to go to make India one of the educated countries of the world.
