In Rural Schools in Karnataka, students struggle to learn and teachers struggle to teach. Modern Education ceases to exist in these schools as teachers are left with old textbooks, 0 digital tools and dried up markers to teach their kids. The students come to school without a notebook, a pencil or even footwear for that matter.

 

The persistent lack of access to quality education for over 6 million children in India is a direct consequence of poor infrastructure, poor learning environment, not highly educated teachers and the absence of basic necessities such as notebooks, stationery, and footwear.

 

This stems from inadequate funding and corruption in education schemes, where allocated resources are misused. The root cause lies in the political system's prioritization of short term measures over long term educational investments, driven by an electorate that, due to systemic poverty and lack of awareness, votes based on immediate needs rather than sustainable reforms. This creates a self-perpetuating cycle where poor education sustains poverty, further diminishing the focus on education as a priority.
