NEW DELHI: In the past 30 years South Asia has experienced rapid education expansion, outpacing the rest of the world. While it is India which is driving these regional averages, of every 10 new schools established here in the past eight years, seven are private independent schools.
As per the new Global Education Monitoring Report 2022 by Unesco, inadequate supply and quality of public education, combined with parental aspirations, have driven private education growth in India, as it calls for increased attention to the implementation of regulations covering equity and quality across all schools so that no children are left behind.
