Since India gained independence 58 years ago, billions of rupees have been doled out in numerous educational policies, but general primary education remains abysmal. According to a report released by the National Institute for Educational Planning Administration (NIEPA) in 2005, 8.1% of primary schools in India have no classrooms, while 17.5% have only one teacher.
印度自从58年前独立以来，已经投资了数十亿卢比来实施五花八门的教育政策，但是普通初级教育仍然糟糕透顶。根据国家教育规划与管理研究所2005年发布的一份报告，印度8.1%的小学没有教室，17.5%的小学仅有一名教师。此外，76.2%的学校没有干净的饮用水，14.6%却电。有电脑的小学不到总数的4%。
