2. WHY?
We wanted to know why people think
Government Schools do not provide good
quality of education and facilities to the
students as compared to Private Low income
schools in Mumbai.

3. RTE…….
(RIGHT TO EDUCATION)
•Free and compulsory education for children
between 6 to 14 age group.
•Education is a fundamental right, admission based
on caste, reservation, no donation or fees and no
interview of child or parents for admission.
•Every child has a right to full time elementary
education of satisfactory and equitable quality in a
formal schools which satisfies certain norms and
standards.

4. WHAT?
We chose Survey as a tool to collect the data in following
communities of Mumbai (Kurla, Worli and Prabhadevi).
Students from 7th to 10th std were surveyed.
We chose localities on the basis of:
•Student’s economical background.
•Our community.
•Areas where Private Low income and government
Schools exist.
•30 houses from each communities were surveyed.

6. HYPOTHESIS
Our hypothesis was that there would not be
much differences between Private Low
income schools and Government schools on
the basis of quality education, effective
teaching, infrastructure and facilities for
students.
Result of our survey proved that our
Hypothesis was correct.
