Neglected Government Schools Become India’s Popular Concern

Government schools in India are receiving more public attention because many are seen as neglected.

A public school is a familiar building to many people.

It matters even to families whose children do not attend one.

The schools are described as showing how well or poorly the government is working.

Many lower-middle-class families want better education for their children.

Because government schools can be so poor, families often try to pay for private schools.

This creates a major financial burden.

The issue is emotional because schools affect children and families directly.
