New York Times on the Indian Education System

Here. My favorite quote from the article:

Mr. Ghosh [an employee of Pratham] went on to point out that one of the aides had shown up more than an hour late, and then with a crying baby in her arms. Two teachers were altogether absent. Even Mr. Hassan, Mr. Ghosh added, had pulled up a half-hour late.

“You’re the head of this school,” Mr. Ghosh told him. “Only you can improve this school.”

Mr. Hassan fired back: “What are you talking about? For the last 25 years this school wasn’t running at all.”

At least we're seeing improvement.
