The number of government elementary schools in India has decreased by 10,000 in a year. This significant decline raises concerns about access to education.
According to recent data, India has witnessed a substantial reduction in the number of government elementary schools. Over the past year, 10,000 such schools have been closed down. This decline is a matter of concern as it may impact the accessibility of primary education for many children. The closure of these schools could lead to a significant increase in the number of out-of-school children, further exacerbating the existing educational disparities.
