There are about 1 crore teachers in India with 70% of them working in government schools. As per government data, the Pupil Teacher Ratio at national level for primary schools is 23:1, for upper primary schools is 25:1 and for Secondary level is 26:1. On the face of it, we seem to have addressed the issue of access to education – including school infrastructure and availability of teachers resulting in improvement in enrolments. However, annual surveys on state of education highlight the gap in grade level performance of students.
