This document discusses primary education in India. It notes that primary education is compulsory from ages 6-14 and aims to provide basic literacy, numeracy, and foundations in core subjects. However, government programs to expand access to education have not been fully effective, with high teacher and staff absence rates and many schools lacking basic facilities. The document proposes several solutions to improve access and quality of primary education in India such as expanding transportation options, increasing compulsory education to class 12, providing incentives for families to enroll their children, and closing fraudulent orphanages that do not provide education.
