CONFEDERATION OF EDUCATION EXCELLENCE

There is one sector in which the news gets consistently worse: India's education system. Over 290 million students attend educational institutions on a typical working day. Enrollment has increased tremendously in Schools, Technical and Professional Courses, Colleges, Distance Learning Centers and even in Coaching Centers. In 1951, 19 million were enrolled at elementary level (classes 1 to 8) and just 1.5 million from 9 to 12. Today, elementary sections have over 130 million enrolled and 37 million in higher classes. Higher education has seen a stunning 100-fold enrollment growth - from 1.7 lakh students in 1951 to over 12 million currently. What drives Indians is hope that educations will open doors to a better life.
