Several government schools in Karnataka lack basic facilities, with about 28% of high schools and 32% of primary schools lacking access to even clean drinking water on the premises, says the State Achievement Survey 2022-23 (SAS) report. This is despite the government taking the initiative to provide drinking water to all the schools under Jal Jeevan Mission scheme.
Only 35.27% of schools have teachers for all prescribed subjects as per the survey. About 12% of primary and 10% of high schools do not have library facility, even as 61.42% of students surveyed said they like reading books.
