2. The quality in primary education
depleting day by day:
 In the graph we can see that how
the students of class v not solving
simple division. It is not just the
condition of class five but of all the
students of primary classes.
Education is the basic need of the society in
which primary education serves as a very
crucial role as it will build a strong pillar for
higher education.
For the development of a country,
education is the most necessary at
least at primary level. As today
students are studying just for getting
marks which results in the quality
depletion of the students.

3.  There is an Unawareness in rural areas about
education
 There are untrained teachers who are not
capable to meet the demands of primary
education as a result they are not taking their
classes i.e. Only the know how to take salary.
 The authorities who have been given
responsibility to spend funds to enhance
quality of education,infrastructure etc. Are not
utilising their funds.
 There is still an outdated curriculum of study is
going on in primary/higher education i.e. There
is a lack in enhancing practical skills,computer
education etc.
 No emphasis is given on innovative
thinking,extra co-curricular activities like
projects,aptitude building etc to enhance the
holistic growth of students .
 ENROLLMENT/ATTENDANCE
 As seen by several surveys
there is an irregularity of
students & teachers in govt.
school.
 TEACHERS
 There are untrained and
inappropriate teachers in govt.
school.
 INFRASTRUCTURE
 There is lack of
infrastructure/shortage of
classroom/basic equipments.
