The document proposes solutions to address issues with primary education quality in India. It suggests three programs: 1) A rural teaching training course to better prepare teachers for rural areas. 2) A students-for-teacher program to involve youth in social welfare and education. 3) A continuous evaluation system to assess teacher performance. These programs aim to enhance teacher training, increase involvement of teachers and students, and focus on underprivileged rural communities to strengthen the foundation of primary education.

“Primary education is the foundation upon which the
child’s future is built. Tampering with it, weakens the
base rendering children incapable to make a progress
in their lives”

teaching for understanding”.

teachers.

India almost at the bottom of the pack in terms of math and
English literacy.
 Very high student teacher ratios and low attendance of
