In India, a major problem is trying to land that could hinder the goal of education for all: the lack of teachers, both in the school of the university.
The number of teachers available is indeed the greatest challenge for institutions and for government, which has implemented educational reforms in both the primary and higher education. According to data
Resource Development Ministry, the country is more than 1.2 million teachers in schools and universities, more than a third of the positions are vacant.
Children's right to free and compulsory education, which the law was passed last year makes the state responsible for the education of all children aged between six and 14 years. It assesses the ratio of students per teacher per 30 to 1. However, the reality is quite different. "India has one of the lowest ratio of teachers with one teacher per 42 students.
A senior official of the Ministry of Development Human Resources considers that "with the constant effort of the state, and government that should not be an unattainable goal." He also agreed that the quality of teachers is also a concern, although the quantity is the main concern.
The last census estimated that even if the country's literacy rate increased from 18.39% in 1950 to 65.38% in 2000, he is currently a third of the population, or nearly 300 million people over 7 years who are still illiterate and 42 million children between 6 and 14 who are not in school.
The problem of insufficient school infrastructure (16.64 per cent of villages have no primary school) and the lack of teachers in remote villages.
