Experts Discuss India's Education and Governance Priorities
Imagine India is building a new future, but some kids are being left behind.
Experts discussed how to fix this.
They said money should be used where it's really needed, like for extra books or teachers, not things the school doesn't need.
They also talked about helping kids who missed school during COVID-19 by getting parents and volunteers involved.
The main idea is to let local people make decisions and work together so that all kids can learn.
